Started a FDC for 8 contentions the beginning of December last year. I have dealt with these secondary conditions for years but waited until I had my primary disability rating of 60% in place for 20 yrs due to being rated using old criteria and the newer criteria would rate me at 40%.
Informed the VA through NOD that the date of my primary rating was wrong on eBenefits and submitted the original rating decision paperwork
Submitted the FDC mid July (provided packages for each contention with data going back over 10 years including VA medical records)
Had C&P exams in August (all turned out favorable and the examiner agreed that they were > 50% likelihood tied to my service connected disability.
Watched the status ping-pong around eBenefits
My claim has been in Pending Notification for most of the last week. I called Peggy today and was told that on the 31st the claims folks had requested information from the Alaska RO. Keep in mind I haven't lived in AK for 13+ years but that is where my primary disability was increased from 20% to 60% 21 years ago.
I have absolutely no idea why they would be requesting information from Alaska that goes back that far, any thoughts?
