ptsd filing intent to file''

[Buck52]

I think I may have screwed up, I never sent in my evidence that I use a cp machine and  my VA dx of Sleep Apnea in my original ptsd claim as SLEEP APNEA SECONDARY TO PTSD.

So crazy me I got into ebennys and click on new claim write  my name and file number  and it said I am filing a new claim  so I exited out and never put what I was intending to file for and this morning the VA says I have a new intent to file claim and have one year to file.

I thought they would add this to my original ptsd claim S.A. secondary to this claim  instead they say its a new claim? &have one year to submit it.

what should I do? call the 1-800 and ask them to withdraw that intent to file claim

because now there saying my claim could take up to 10-20-16 to 5 -10 of 2017

 

Any suggestions?

how do I check to see if my VA dx S.A. OSA was submitted to my ptsd claim?

how do I check on ebenny's to see if this was added to my ptsd original claim?...it seems thinking back I did put the S.A. dx and the use of the cpap machine in my claim from my healthvet Notes...if I did then I do need to call and with draw this new intent to file....correct?

Buck;

You do not need to withdraw an "intent to file" - it just sits there and if you don't file, then it disappears...

Here is my screen shot...I now have "two intent to files" b/c someone decided to open up a "new claim" for my L ankle increase separately.  Why??? I don't know, because is already included in my FDC which was filed on 1/12/16.  

Did you click on the link under the new claims (date link) and see what the claim says???

It is my understanding that if you have a claim already submitted and add more evidence, it will just be added to your existing claim.  I don't think you have anything to worry about.  I'm sure other's will chime in.

Ok

I got it now

Claims intake center in Jansesville Wi sent me  a letter today.It says on 1-22-16  I filed an Intent to file claim...you have one year to file your claim or it will be out.  ect,,,ect,,,

I did this on on ebenny's but I thought I was adding evidence to my now active claim   and I didn't know it was an intent to file, so can I just call them and tell them to withdraw the 1-22-2016 intent to file claim  I made a mistake on ebenefits 

As for as filing another claim I don't know right now? it depends on this new ACTIVE CLAIM. THE OUT COME OF IT?

On ebenneys it says my active claim is estmated to have a decision 4 16...to7 -16

 

any help from anyone?

Buck;

Did you read my post above?????

 

[Buck52]

yes mam  I did,

I am just confused rather or not to just keep it going for a while incase I do need to file another claim?

or  just call and tell them to withdraw the 1-22-16 intent to file.

if they treat this as a ''new claim''  its probably ok to just let it wait itself out   because right now I don't know if I will be filing another claim or not?  if I'm satisfied with my active claim   I am finished with VA Claims.

 unless I come up with an Agent Orange Disease later?
