AFEngineer Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) FDC Success! Retired: 31 July 2014 Filed FDC: 7 Aug 2014 C&Ps: Feb and March 2015 Claim Closed: 25 March 2015 Award Percentage: 100% P&T; no future exams Claims submitted: 24 # Claims Service Connected: 15 # Claims Not Service Connected: 9 VA Retro Payment: 30 March 2015 DFAS Backpay: 22 April 2015 Overall, the FDC process was very quick and painless! This was my first and original claim filed after retiring. I did not do a Benefits at Discharge package since I was moving quickly after retirement. I waited until I moved, met VSO, filed FDC with all my records, application, marriage certs, dependent birth certs, etc all in 1 package. Uploaded to ebenefits and rest is history. I was able to see my award %, AB8 letters, everything on ebenefits before I received the BBE. Now, I am just waiting on back-pay from the DFAS audit. DEPOSITED 22 APR 2015! Good luck to all waiting!

HadIt.com Elder Chuck75 Posted April 4, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 4, 2015 100% service connected vets are allowed to use military flights? The last I heard, NO! The Secretary of Defense basically stonewalled the idea. AFEngineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
