Question
Alcapone1931
good afternoon all,
i am a new member on this, former US army reservist, and currently employed full time. i separated in 2009 but filed my claim in Aug 2015 (i wasnt aware as a reservist of only 6 yrs total enlistment that i could actually apply for anything). my decision finally moved in the Preparation for Decision phase two days ago, 6/21/2016. i have two questions:
1 - how quickly does it go from here?...(im guessing the answer is that there is no answer. everyone's claim is handled differently but has anyone experienced the claim to wrap up rather quickly from here?)
2 - i am trying to determine what sort of rating i may get for my mental health based off my C&P results. anyone with experience please take a look (below) and offer their opinion?
thank you kindly for any assistance and response:
--------------------------------------------------------
****i know by definition this summary may fall within the 30% rating, but please continue reading below******
****the symptoms listed above fall under both 30% and 50% criteria, so i am uncertain whether they will consider both or make the decision based off the Summary at the begining of the report, which technically defines the 30% rating******
this ends my report. thank you again for anyone's response and assistance.

Looks like a winner to me. Now, how much compensation, not so sure. And yes, they don't let the Reservists, to include Guardsman, in on all on the available benefits. We are what they call

Alcapone, I believe they must by law, rate you on the highest allowable symptoms, so you are sitting solidly in the 50% block. That don't mean they won't lowball you at 30%, tho. Also, file for
