devildog2061 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'm going through a DRO Review appeal for increase PTSD and IU. It has been 24 months, and I've had my C&P on the 17th of July. There has been absolutely no movement on E-Benefits. It does state that I submitted for an appeal and the claim is still at the RO local office, but hasn't provided any steps that it may have gone through so far. I call the 1-800 number and customer service stated that it's with the DRO waiting C&P, and rating. Why has'nt there been any movement on E-Benefits ? Is this normal this late in the process ?

ATVer Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Make room for one more, I've had my appeal in for PTSD increase and IU for 2 years today strange enough. Their letter says they confirmed my NOD's September 17, 2010. I have yet to see any movement whatsoever, let alone have another C&P. No impact no idea....

I definitely understand your frustration. I hit my 28 month mark yesterday. (It sounds less painful to say 28 months, than to say 2 years and 4 months.) I'm out of the Houston VARO, which is apparently notorious for lost information, delays, frustration, long lines and paranormal activity. (OK...I just made the paranormal activity up....but wouldn't it be cool if it did happen there....particularly to the raters. ;-) ) Keep the faith, and just think of it as being on some giant conveyer belt moving along and that as long as your file doesn't get pulled due to a Congressional inquirty (I'm guilty of that), or questions asked (I'm guilty of that too), additional conditions claimed in the middle of the initial claim process (guilty...again), and there is no other weirdness......then it should reach it's destination.....hopefully. Good luck on your claim, and thanks for your service to our country. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark And ......I just read your initial post even closer, and now realize that you are on DRO review....which is different from the initial claim that I am filing. Sorry about the misunderstanding. I need to finish my first cup of coffee before responding to posts I think. At any rate, it's still a "hide and watch" type system here. They will move at their own pace no matter who or what intervenes it would seem. Good luck though, and I hope you get the increases that you requested. Peace out, and have a great weekend.

Question
devildog2061
I'm going through a DRO Review appeal for increase PTSD and IU. It has been 24 months, and I've had my C&P
on the 17th of July. There has been absolutely no movement on E-Benefits. It does state that I submitted for an
appeal and the claim is still at the RO local office, but hasn't provided any steps that it may have gone through so
far. I call the 1-800 number and customer service stated that it's with the DRO waiting C&P, and rating. Why has'nt
there been any movement on E-Benefits ? Is this normal this late in the process ?
