I need some help from those more knowledgeable. Here is my issue time line:
Retire July 2011 due to medical injury issues (24 years service)
Filed with VA for disability August 2011.
Claim 1/2 complete in March 2013 rated 50% with items deferred.
Sent in my election to receive Compensation Form VA21-651 April 1st as requested so they could start monthly compensation.
No disability pay received May 1st.
Remainder of claim complete and closed April 20th 2013, Rated at 100% permanent and Total.
No pay received in June.
New claim opened up 20 May 2013 labeled (Eligibility determination)
Called DFAS twice and they have never received anything from the VA reporting my disability level as indicated in the paperwork I received from VA in March and in April.
VA says there is no financial account opened up under my SSN and there is no determination when I will be paid my monthly compensation. What is this eligibility determination claim all about???? How long does this one take????
I am at my wits end.... No wonder we have so many suicides with returning service members if this is the battle we have to face when thrown into civilian life.
