Claim Status

[Kray]

Yesterday, April 10 my claim went from "Gathering of Evidence" to "Preparation for Decision", Development Letter Sent. On April 2, I had my C & P. What does this mean and why was a letter sent? I checked A8 and no change in my status. Any ideas? My claim was started on April 30, 2013.

Thanks

My primary is Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) (30%), Agent Orange and Cardiac Dysrhythmia is secondary to Ischemic changes of the heart with Pacemaker implanted.

I just checked eBenefits this morning and claim status changed to "Preparation for Notification" With dates of 7/4/2014 to 11/29/2014. Yesterday status was "Preparation for Decision" with dates of 6/28/2014 to 12/31/2014. Strange.

Yesterday, 4/16/2014 I went to eBenefits site and found my claim was gone. I looked below and saw that it was closed. I then went to letters and printed out the effective date of April 1, 2014; I went from 30% to 60%. I will have to wait until the letter come VA arrived to see what they did. I have a guess and that it is 60% for IHD and 10% for Pacemaker. With their fuzzy math that will make the claim at 60%. This claim took one year.

My first claim took under fast track took 20 months to acknowledge 10%; another 4 months to get 30% and and 3 1/2 years to get re-tro pay and dependent status.

Many thanks to all that have taught me so much on this forum.
