@pete992 I got the denial letter today. Even though the decision was dated March 18th, they somehow did not get my DBQ and physician's notes that were sent on March 5th. So, a supplemental claim will be on it's way and we shall try again!

@bellrungboxer  It takes roughly 2-3 weeks for submitted information to make it to your file.  Don't bother filing an appeal at this time, just get one more test/piece of paper opinion, and submit it again as a new claim.  If you appeal it will be 4 years or greater and there's no backpay issue here right now. You need new evidence to file a new claim on a denied issue.

As unbelievable as it seems, I filed a supplemental appeal and resubmitted the same evidence with a Claim Information form (im blanking of the form #) on April 16th , and they granted 50% on April 30th!

@bellrungboxer   No, I absolutely believe it.  You had done the work and actually gotten competent doctors to test you and review. You put in the info.  I do believe that they moved to decision without your information on the first time.  The second time they had the private evidence in place and moved to decision within days.  It's just that a fully developed claim is a slam dunk easy thing for them to do.  It seems to come down to whether the decision is an easy one to make or whether they have to wade through inches deep stacks of documentation to render a decision (hint: they won't do it. those are the ones that get delayed for years). 

Congratulations!!  Now use that BiPap regularly, and I DO hope it helps you with your breathing.

Congrats BellRungBoxer.......

Did you attend a C&P exam or was the decision based off the evidence of record?

 

NEVER GIVE UP............
