Finally

[WVSERVER]

I finally received the form letter from VA Huntington that they received my app for benefits. It’s there desire to give me a prompt decision but the are seriously back logged which could cause a delay. Plus they are evaluating rather or not more evidence is needed.

I know it just a form letter but a least I know they received it. Now I am praying they only take a few months. However I know it un-realistic to expect anything from them before the 18month mark.

Actually, you should be very happy. The Huntington RO is one of the better ones. They even take on claims from other RO's to help them along.

J is right on here! They are one of the better ones from what I have heard!

Is your claim a single conditions or what? That will also factor in?

[WVSERVER]

Hey thanks for the replies. I am glad to hear Huntington is one of the better RO. No it’s a multiple condition claim. I was just assuming that they were like the rest. Well you know what they say about assuming LOL.

WVSERVER,

I noticed your profile shows None, as service connected (SC'd) so I'm

wondering if the claim issues you have recently submitted are for an Original claim.

Meaning you have never submitted any claim for SC prior to this one, on a 21-526 form,

is this correct ?

[WVSERVER]

Yes, you’re right it is an initial claim.

Well at least you found this site and will be able to appeal just in case they don't get it right the first time. Or if they may award too low. Let's all cross our fingers for you and hope you get a favorable result. Speedy one too.
