ptsd Preparation For Notification Back To Pending Decision Approval

[E-5 Big D]

I have been a long time reader of the success stories on this site, I have never posted before. So here I go on my rant. I filed a DRO Appeal at the Muskogee Regional Office October 2013, I then had my DRO Hearing in May of 2014, at this hearing the DRO explained to me that it would be an informal non-recorded hearing simply because she seen the mistake that the VA Rating Officer made and that this would be a quick fix. "No later than end of July 2014." I had opened a dependency claim in January 2014 as well due to getting married. Now that I have an open dependency claim and a DRO appeal going on at the same time I'm pretty sure I screwed myself. That darn 1-800-no one knows a damn thing keeps reading me the same old paragraph about if we need anything we will contact you. My dependency claim went to Preparation for Notification on December 2, and now today December 18 it goes back to Pending Decision Approval, can someone explain what is so freak'en hard about approving a spouse that it had to get sent back a stage? Also can someone enlighten me on one more question. Could this be what is slowing down my DRO Appeal. The appeal is for PTSD increase, and IU. I'm already at 60% and the DRO officer explained to me that I should be at 90-100% for PTSD alone not to mention the other 8 items on my claim that all together gave me a 60% rating. Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

To find out about your states benefits, search for Veterans benefits (your state) It should pull up what your state offers. I am in Oklahoma and it is different than other states.

Congrats.

Sorry, I had forgotten you were in Oklahoma also. Here is the state site. http://www.ok.gov/triton/search.php?cref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ok.gov%2Ftriton%2Fcse_search_xml.php?site=http://www.ok.gov/odva/*&sitesearch=http://www.ok.gov/odva/&q=muskogee&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=any&sort=&num=10&cof=FORID%3A9%3BNB%3A1#947

Happy New Years Eve all, I have a question that maybe someone will be able to give me some hope in, as I posted above it looks like my TDIU P&T was approved via-dav in Muskogee RO. Does anyone have any idea how the retro pay works or a good timeline on how long I may be waiting for this. It should be nice since they dated it back to March 2012. Anyone wanting to give me positive hope. Thanks all in advance, have a safe and enjoyable New Year.
