mseitz Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I filed a BDD Claim in November 2012 and actually retired 1 May 2013. My claim was sent to the SLC RO and then farmed out to the Phoenix RO in October 2013. Although it was only 7 months ( I know others have waited and are waiting longer) it seemed like forever..Espcecially the not knowing part. I did a calculation based on what I thought and even though I came up with 100% it was very nerve racking because ultimately the rater makes the determination. Like I said, I am very happy with the outcome but there is a hollow feeling as to the overall fact that at 50 years old I have enough injuries/conditions from my 25 years of service to be considered 100% disabled.. Good luck to all and Happy Veterns Day to all my brothers and sisters who had the opportunity to serve our great nation.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
