Just be sure all your documents and claims are at the VA. You can't really hurry them. You just have to wait. Have you had C&P exams on all these issues?

Yes I've had all C and P's back in July and PTSD in October..and I'm trying to be very patient but its hard!

You should have heard by now. If you can go to the VARO without to much effort you should go and ask to see a Councilor and have them look into it with you sitting across the table.

If that is a problem you might want to call and ask for an inquiry into where your file is and at what stage it is in. 800-827-1000

Good Luck

I've done all the above...! I went in to the VARO back in December and actually sat and spoke with an counselor and the only thing he basically told me was to "continue to wait, the average time here at the Little Rock RO is about 6 months" here it is going on 9 months still havent heard a word, but your in the decsion phase 'still' this is nonsense..IM THE VET!!
