Deferred

[mojo13]

Hello Mojo,,,, HHHmmmmmm ... deferred means that this particular issue or claim has something that has the Regional Office looking at something in you records or your medical reports or diagnosis. It does not mean a denial. In most cases the VA can go ahead and adjudicate the other claims or wait to combine them all AFTER they review the issue that has been deferred in order to make a decision. They may also want to order C and P exams and get more information.

Many of our members have very good experience with this because of the deferred issues and can discuss this further. I know that Berta and Carlie have commented on this before and they have had this happen to them.

Hopefully they may be able to discuss this further. I believe you just have to sit tight and wait on this. Above all.....NEVER GIVE UP. God Bless, C.C.

Without knowing exactly why a deferral occurred, it's anybodies guess!

Does a deferral allow the RO to get production credit for the portion of the claim decided?

Does a deferral allow the RO to "move on" to another claim that helps keep the RO's numbers up?

Is "deemed denied" still in use when the deferral is not mentioned in the original or follow on claim approval/disapproval letters?

Chuck ,,,, you know what...... the VA probably can use the deferred issues to do just as you have pointed out. Make their numbers better on the reports look better. Thanks for putting that on. NEVER GIVE UP. God Bless, C.C.
