John.c.miller323 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have never posted before, but I have read probably every post posted within the last four years. Below is a synopsis of filing my initial claim for benefits after leaving Active Duty. VA Disability rating at 60% combined for: Degenerative Disc Disease L3-L4 - 40% Cervical Strain - 20% Right Knee post Meniscus Surgery - 10% Tinnitus - 10% Migraines - 0% Right Shoulder - Torn Rotator Cuff- 0% I appointed DAV to file the claim on my behalf. At times it was frustrating, but in the end I felt they represented my interest well. Timeline: Active Duty Army 2006-2012, OIF 07-09 and OIF 10-11, Filed initial claim 25 March 2013, moved to gathering evidence 15 June, Submitted IRIS inquiry on 20 December 2013 asking about status of claim, Received response to IRIS on 30 December 2013, Claim moved from Gathering Evidence to Complete between 1 January and 3January, Received Retroactive Pay via Direct Deposit on 6 January. I wanted to say Thank you to all the dedicated posters on Hadit.com, I truely feel that your expertise helped me compile a very solid claim.
