tdiu Claim Finally Moved! Prep For Decision

[Shyne-I]

Hello Hadit family,

I need reassurance from you all right now.... I have managed to keep my case at the RO with a reconsideration, a NOD, and a Reopen; how this was possible without it moving to BVA.... I guess it would be a good thing if I finally get SC for Fibromyalgia and my secondaries. It just scares me because it shows that I still have a formal appeal in ebenefits but it showing still at RO and the appeal was for Fibromyalgia. I was sent an IRIS response stating that I would need to either drop the appeal of Fibromyalgia or let it be process in the reopened claim dated 9/18/2013. Just to refresh memories, my original claim was filed 7/11/2012; I was denied 4/10/2013; I sent in a notice of disagreement, but I specified that I disagreed with the C&P examiner's opinion and the fact that she wasn't a medical doctor or a specialist in Rheumatology and that I wanted a new exam, but of course that was discounted. I submitted N&M evidence so they classified it as a reconsideration. I was denied again on 9/11/2013 and given a SOC. I submited more evidence and didn' get a response, so I filed a formal appeal on 11/15/2013. On 12/10/2013, I received a letter stated that I was previously denied all of my contentions and that the appeal period had expired, therefore I needed to submit N&M evidence in order to reopen my claim. Of course this was crazy to me, but as requested I submitted more N&M evidence and it sat as a reopened claim from 9/18/2013 to under review on 12/19/2013 to Prep for decision on 3/18/2014. Oh forgot to mention that I also filed for TDIU with this claim and an increase in sinusitis. The C&P exam results were received on 3/4/2014 the 21-8940 was received on 3/11/2014, but they say that they did not receive the N&M evidence for the Fibromyalgia and the 2 secondary conditions!! This is what worries me....can someone please pat the back of my hands and let me know it's ok....that ebenefits just wasn't updated and you are fine.

put it in Gods hand s and try to live one day at a time.

can u post the SOC and we might see something to help

also you may want to call the 1800 number. they had my claims all messed up, I got alot of stuff straight this morning, and have a better Idea of whats going on with my claims. The lady I talked to said it wss no big having a skull injury claim listed on appeals that wasnt mine, but I stayed on her until she got off her lazy arse and sent a message to waco, letting them know that I didnt file that claim. I told her it could stall my appeal, because the RO would spend time looking for evidence of a claim that doesnt exist.

The system is dysfunctional , big time.

dysfunctuonal. 63Sierra you are to kind, I would certainly try to fill a post with all the colorful metaphors I knew in every language and I still yet would not come close to the BS this institution pulls. You guys keep fighting. Victory will be seen. Maybe not in a fair amount of time, but it WILL come. Accountability will eventually catch up and those bloody heads will roll.

Shyne,

You will be OK.

Whatever hasn't been worked out correctly will still go to BVA.

You will be OK.

Somehow your needs have been met all this time, even if you are barely

making it - you have made it this far.

You will continue to do whatever you must . . .

from now until your dying day.

However it works out

YOU . . . will be OK.

Lets just keep waiting it out for now.

You will be OK.

Shyne,

You are always there congratulating everyone else on their success of their claims, when your day comes through, (in time it will) then we can be congratulating you. My thoughts are with you and all who still struggle for that peace of mind; hoping, that their service to OUR COUNTRY will not be dismissed, nor overlooked but treated with respect and dignity. Reality just isn't that way, we do need to be tough, have perseverance and tenacity so we can jump all those hurdles the VBA puts in front of us.

Thank you so much Carlie for the reassurance....My faith waivered for a moment but I know that fear is not of God. But thank you all for the kind words and I will update when there's movement! :)
