Filed 3 Claims At Once

[John46]

In July '10 I filed for increase for 3 SC disabilities. I had a total knee replacemnt (SC) in September '10 and filed for the 1 year convelesant (sp). I called the 800 number and was told that all the claims were being lumped together. Does anyone know why they would lump all of the above together. The knee issue is automatic, I thought.

No real reason except for the rater can work on all 3 at the same time and also just because they can as it may drag it out.

Happens all the time.

Hang in there.

Yes I did it and they advised me they were going to the same thing, put them all into the same claim.

Did all my C&P's together than rated and completed them all the same

time also.

Good Luck
