Filed a notice of intent in Feb 2016, filed claim in January 2017, C&P exam end of January 2017, decision March 2017 30% IBS.  From all of the advice on this forum did this claim myself, made sure to attach all of the needed information and was the fastest claim I have ever had with the VA.  Thanks to all of you that have shared your knowledge and experience on this forum.  You have educated an old scout LT about this process.  Your information armed me to be successful in providing all of the information needed the first time.  By the way they backdated the effective date to the date I filed my notice of intent to file.  Maybe a little topic about how that works might help someone out there.  I did not know that piece of the puzzle.
