Anyone else motice this to be true regarding wait times?

[2NDMARDIVDOC]

I have a theory that may or may not be true. Just looking for some opinions or experiences. Over the years I have filed a lot of claims for SC. Some were granted and some weren't. Some came with a decent amount of retro payment. I have noticed, at least in my cases, that claims that are going to be approved usually sit in the "prep for decision / pending approval" stage for longer wait times than flat out denials. Usually a denial goes through the last few stages all within a week as where the approvals take at least a month or longer for the last few stages. Anyone else have an experience or opinion on that?

 Saxman,

Does your current claim have anything to do with your past denials? Re-open for example? You know that you can review the CP exam results on myhealthevet website right? That will tell you exactly how you scored on the CP exam.

2ndmardivdoc,

My current claim doesn't have anything to do with the denied claims.  The denied claims are being appealed. I don't have any re-open claims either.  My feeling on the re-c&p exam is the Doc didn't fill out all the information they needed because he didn't measure my scars.  I had my exam at a QTC office and I can't get copies of my exam. I'm  headed back to the VAMC to find out how I can get copies.

What is a QTC office? 

[saxman]

QTC  is a medical contract company that does C& P exams for the VA.

You can check with the VBA (Veterans Benefits Administration) office at your local VAMC  & Request a copy of your last C&P Exam from QTC. (After your decision)...this helps you with your NOD.
