First Disability Claim Timeline

[doubleD]

It seems like a lot of the post I am seeing are for an additional claim and staus. I was hoping to get a more accurate timeline of the new claims. I filed my first claim in Oct '12, I had my first C and P in Sept '13 and a my claim moved from "gathering evidence" to "prep for decision" a week after my c and p exam. Here I am waiting...

What has your timeline been?

My timeline:initial claim filed 10.2.2012

Edit: 10.4.2013 claim moved to "pending decision approval"

Edit 2: 10.10.2013 Preparing notification

Edit 3: 10.17.2013 Complete on ebenefits showing 70%

I would be thinking about my appeal if the claim is not rated decently. You really have enough for 70%-100% but you may end up with 30%-50%. The VBM is like an insurance company. If they can low ball you they will. If they do low ball you I would go get a IMO/IME and ask them to reconsider.

You got a good % for PTSD. I have 80% total, but they only gave me 30% for PTSD even though VA C&P listed my conditions as severe with a GAF of 42. I was active duty when I got my %s, so I hope that my request to have %s upped will happen soon. Good luck to you and wish you the best.
