It's My Turn! Fdc On The Move

[NavyWife]

OMFG! I don't believe it. My FDC status has finally changed from the 1st step of Under Review to the 2nd step of Gathering Evidence! The estimated claim completion date only extended out 2 extra months--not bad! Under Contentions, it always previously said VBMS (new); now it lists the 2 contentions we actually filed for.

I realize Ebenefits is only as good as the person updating the info at the VARO, but nonetheless, I'm so excited and happy. I feel like I just won the lottery or something. Also, a little bit emotional because I've been working my a$$ off for 40 to 50 hours per week on this claim & learning the "VA Process" since September. It's nice to know someone has actually looked at it!

It says "Development Letter Sent". This is an FDC, so I've already signed the VCAA 5103 notice. What could that be for?

The past 2 weeks, I've been emailing every other day, the VSO's in my area asking for status updates. Also, my FDC just hit the 125 day mark. Coincidence?????

Hello Navywife!

I was curious if your husband had been scheduled for a C&P yet. My claim has recently moved to gathering evidence also but I have not heard anything.

Nope, nothing at all. I will definetely post here when something is scheduled. Good luck to you & hope you get exams soon!
