Shorty_doowop Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I just wanted to post my success. I was called on 7/22 about one my contentions because QTC did complete the physical for it. She told me she would send the request for an appt at the nearest VA Hospital and send the rest of my claim on. By Friday everything was completed and my appointment was made two week out. My compensation is 50%. Of course I won't know the break down until I get the package. I am really curious to see it. Thanks to Hadit.com I was able to keep from going crazy. Thank you all for posting your stories to keep my nerves down. Claim Received: 06/01/2014 (I started before I left active duty)Claim Type: CompensationClaim Received: 1/09/2014 Under Review: 1/09/2014 Gathering of Evidence: 4/21/2014 (After my QTC appointments, still active duty) Review of Evidence: 6/24/2014 (Review began 6/1/2014, my retirement date) Pending for Decision: 7/22/2014 Pending Decision Approval: 7/23/2014 Preparation for Notification: 7/24/2014 Complete: 7/24/2014 Total of 54 day after discharge.

Jim MAC Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Good Luck but make sure you were not low balled. Any questions or need help come back here. I have a feeling you will have a NOD in your future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty_doowop Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thank you!!! Ok now that I know what a NOD is...I agree I will be submitting one. I still need to review and understand everything first. However, the first issue I have to deal with is they did not add my mother to my dependent list. I put the 21-686c form in my original package and ebenefits shows they got it on January 8th with the original package. How do I get this corrected? I see dependency changes can take awhile. I don't want them to think this is a new claim. I have been taking care of my mom for over 10 yrs now...she was my dependent while active duty..

Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted July 30, 2014 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 30, 2014 Welcome to Hadit! Big congrats to you. 50% is a great rating because the VA can't charge you for co-pays any more and you get medical coverage through them. Don't forget to check with your State VA team to see if you can take advantage of any special benefits they offer. They often screw up dependency claims and the length of time varies greatly.
