Chief -they usually write Sec 1151 all over this type of claims file- and should keep it separate from your other stuff there-

but there is no time limit-filing 1151 --- you could wait if you feel it will hold up your other claims-

Hi Cheif,

We filed 1151 for similar condition.

We had just filed NOD for other S/C claims when we filed the 1151.

They sent a letter that the appeal would be on hold while they worked on the new claim.

We just got the decesion on the appealed s/c claims (denials of course.....) but still waiting on initial 1151 decesion.

Since we had just sent the NOD 1 month before the 1151 - I don't think it slowed the process on the appealed claim by much - but if your appeal has been in for some time - and you are in a hurry - I'd wait to file .

If your not in much of a hurry - or if your NOD was receintly sent in - then you should go ahead & file to get your earliest effective date.

Good luck,
