ptsd A Very Confused Vet... Please Help

[Cm Burns]

I had 2 claims submitted months apart. they all went info the rating phase together but came out of the rating phase a day apart. As of yesterday I found out that I was awarded 30% for ptsd/mdd/anxiety .... but I am confused about several things. I am wanting to know if you have 2 claims going in to be rated back to back do they then combine it all info 1 award or are they always kept seperated. The reason I ask is all the claims i am told are closed. but all that is in the system is 30% and she told me it was from a claim filed in 2009. Does that mean they have not entered the info from the claim filed in 2010 or that there was no reward. I do know only 1 award letter has been sent from what they told me. I don't know if for both claims all i got was 30% or is it possible the second claim was not entered yet. can someone please help me to understand. I also applied for nsc pension which is not showing active on the system so I assume i was turned down for it or actually I don't know what I should think about that. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. If all i got was 30% for ptsd I think they really low balled me. I am not quite sure what to think from here on any of this but i am trying to get a good understanding of what has happened and what should happen.

Thnx

I am going into an inpatient program that is 12 weeks it is for ptsd and since I am not rated for it I wanted to apply for the temporary 100% can you guys also tell me what to do and how to go about applying for it.

If the VA has more than one claim in the system for you they do sometimes rate them all together and send one rating decision on all the issues. They wait until all the issues are ready to rate and then rate them. You still get separate ratings but they are combined in one decision.

So how would that show up in their system. all at once or is the info manually entered and then at what point. That is what I am confused about... so that i will know is this all i get or is there maybe more to come.

Is it possible that this info is not all complete. I mean what i am wanting to know is at what point is the info entered in the computer. Could the second claim not be on there yet.

Do they take 2 different claims and combine them on 1 award letter. they have been sep up til this point so I am just trying to understand

If your two claims are in the same group like both being mental you will only get one award.
