chomperjones
so my claim was submitted on 12/12/2016.
I submitted for bipolar/depression (reopen) and tinnitus (new). I sent it in as an FDC with all my evidence.
I checked ebenefits on 12/21/2016 and the status is already showing preparation for decision.
Is this normal? I haven't even gone to a c&p exam, I haven't recieved any correspondences or anything.
For the bipolar depression it is a reopen because when i first filed in 2011, I missed my appointment.
After I missed my appointment, the VA sent me papers (back in 2011) saying that they see that i was treated for depression during active duty. but since i failed to show up to the appointment, it was denied.
So now i've sent a ton of new evidence that supports my claim and they've reopened the case. But does the speed with which this is progressing means that i am being denied?
As noted below, ebennies is showing that the va rep has already made a decision, in less than two weeks. With no exams or anything... What does this mean... Is this normal? have i been denied? Is there a phone number i can call?? im freaking out.
Here's what ebenefits show:
Estimated Completion: 01/24/2017 - 03/04/2017
STATUS: Preparation For Decision
The Veterans Service Representative has recommended a decision, and is preparing required documents detailing that decision. If more evidence is required, the claim will be sent back in the process for more information or evidence

No C and P exam is requred if, in the judgement of the AOJ, there is sufficient evidence to award (or deny). Not everyone who gets benefits got a c and p exam.

Have you ever had a VA Forensic PTSD C & P Exam? MH Records, Private Pscyc or Psychologist PhD or VMC MH Dr, are insufficient to make a current PTSD Decision & Rating. Look forward to th

Broken VA changed the whole PTSD SC Deal a few years ago, about the same time the DSM V replaced the DSM IV. PTSD is the only MH condition that requires a VA Forensic C & P Exam by a VA or QT
