ptsd What Does This Mean

[vetinpa]

So I am told that both my gynecological and my anxiety issues are considered service connected, I have not recieved official word yet, ebenefits says it is "pending dispatch" The DAV tells me that now it will be sent back to the RO and I will have to have exams to figure out what the severity is to rate both of these.

Anxiety/PTSD was initially filed in 2002, I was denied during this claim and appealed it, will they go back to this date?

Gyno was filed in 2006. But I had information in my service record well before this, which date is relevant here??

keep trying.

I will, what did they do for you?

Hi vetinpa,

I called case management & within a month from my phone call my

claim was settled & money was in my account. They had my RO call

me. I had a C&P scheduled & final decision & pay a week after the C&P.

I had been going around in circles until I made the phone call to case

management. It did take a couple of tries to get someone to call

me back. Hopefully it will work for you.

Good Luck,

Bob K

Same for me as Painter, except mine was a BVA award remanded for rating like you.

Over on Yuku they were afraid this number would get too well known and I fear it may have...

I tried probably 20 times today, I will try again tommorro, the 800 number tells me that it is closed, its waiting on a review and authorization but that it is in the notification phase, yet they can not see it, circles is right, I am getting dizzy. Tommorro is 14 business days in this phase, that is pittsburghs average, they say may take a little longer because of retro, well almost all come with retro, va don't approve most claims on first try. I will definately try it again tommorro. will post the results, thanks again.

I am pretty sure they will be doing staged ratings, so I am sure the math was a little time consuming, but they have had it long enough already.
