green Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Hadit-eers, My claim for compensation on secondary conditions finally closed today. Just to give those who look at eBenefits and wonder how accurate it is can take a look at my timeline, which is as follows: Intent to File 11/7/2014 Claim Submitted 7/22/15 C&P Exams 8/30/15 Gathering Evidence to Prep for Decision to Decision Approval (8 times) from 8/30/15 - 10/15/2015 Prep for Notification 10/15/15 Gathering Evidence 11/15/15 Prep for Decision 3/8/16 Pending Decision Approval 4/4/16 Prep for Notification 4/6/16 Pending Decision Approval 4/8/16 Prep for Notification 4/8/16 Pending Decision Approval 4/11/16 Prep for Notification 4/12/16 Pending Decision Approval 4/13/16 Prep for Notification to Pending Decision Approval to Prep for Notification 4/14/16 Close 4/15/16 So we are talking 269 days from the submit application date till close for a FDC. The good news is that I have been rated 100% Scheduler P&T, and that they did back date a few of the contentions to 2004. They didn't take my Intent to file date into considerations but rather went back to the C&P date. Keep in mind that I had a lot of medical documentation that proved the existence of these contentions much earlier. I understand that I may not get them to go back beyond the Intent to File date but will ask for clarification on why 12/7/14 wasn't the date they used. I'm feeling sort of numb at this point as I've been engaged actively and emotionally since December of 2014 and now I have at least partial closure. I want to thank Tbird, asknod, berta (you are the first person I talked to here many moons ago), Buck, broncovet and so many others who have encouraged me through the process. Tbird, I'll be sending you some $ via PayPal when I receive the backpay to help you continue on. You are the Veteran.
