Date Open And Suspense Date

[Mil T]

Hi,

I need some clarification on my claim. I have been waiting for an appeal of my claim for IU since Aug 4, 2010. I went on E-benefits and asked the appeal management if it could be sent back for a re-review since I have a letter from VRE saying that I can't work due to my SC disability. I saw that it had been removed from appeals on 5/02/2011 and sent to the RO. They recognized the letter from VRE on the ebenefits C&P claim site. Then there is a notation below for WHAT HAVE WE DONE with an open date of 6/6/2011 but there is another column that says SUSPENSE DATE and under it is the date 7/05/2011. Can someone explain what that suspense date is?

Thanks,

Mil T

disregard, I found what it means. the 1 year anniversary of the claim.

Mil T - the suspense date is the approximate next date they plan to look at or work on your claim. I don't know where you could have come up with the one year annivery date??

Suspense dates don't have anything to do with a rating needs to be

completed by then or anything like that.

They are just kind of a target date for someone to take a look at or

do a little something more.

Suspense dates change all the time and have little meaning to the claimant,

kind of like Monday Morning Workload Reports.
