ddj6969 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 NOD has been at the Chicago RO with a DRO for 491 days. Was told by IRIS they are averaging 447 days. Just wondering how long everyone else has been waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 georgiapapa Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just a guess but some pages could be missing or references may have been made to other possible relevant reports or items which were not found in your records. If you have not already had a C & P exam for your claimed neck disability (neuritis), you will probably be scheduled for the exam. If you have already had an exam, perhaps they felt like Iowa City VAMC should not have rendered an opinion in your case until they reviewed your complete service treatment records. Again, without more info, we are just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ddj6969 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 The neuritis thing puzzles me to as I never claimed it. I filed a claim for 4.124a 8513 which is Paralysis. Neuritis is 8613. Hopefully I can clear this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ddj6969 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Feel like the exam went well. Doctor was very friendly and said it looks like you have everything you need here. She is going to try and get copies of exams from private practice doctors I saw while active. I was told they destroyed those records after 7 years but I was luckily able to get copies of the Tricare records. She actually called one of them while I was there! They said no record of course. She would not tell me if she would rate my as likely or more than likely or anything which did not make me happy but it is sit and wait again.

ddj6969 Send an e-mail to Allison.Hickey@va.gov or Robert.A.McDonald@va.gov and ask for their assistance. Many on this website have received responses within a short period of time. Hope this h

Thanks for the advice. Did a quick search on Hadit and found many success stories resulting from a email to Allison. Just sent her a brief email. I will post what happens.

Received a reply from Allison this morning and a email from Suzanne Nunziata, Director of Chicago RO, shortly thereafter saying she would take a look at my file and reply by the end of the week.
