Questions with a claim or appeal

[jfrei]

Ok so I can't respond to all posts with the same answers and to prevent Me from.missing your post. If your claim is stuck or appeal is stick more then 60 days don't feel like it's the norms. Please listen to that 60 days start asking what will get my claim moving actually call as much as you they can see the trend on their system  (202) 530-9470 to get your shit rolling pardon my french. Sometimes things take time but waiting for two months like my last claim Is BS  , it says pending a download for two months just to say never mind its not even needed pissed me off. But had I not called every week for two months they wouldn't have sent in an inquiry to see why something was pending. I called the above number sometimes you wait for 17 minutes it disconnects call again and again someone will pick up. Please Vets don't allow your claim to sit I understand the process takes time things take time to due process but to have a wait time on something past it's suspense is not happening to any vets I'll help without an inquiry being submitted by the staffers at the number I provided. If you called daily as I did and if you ask they will give you a date and it's different at times then the one you see on ebenefits. If you get a warning saying something is due on ebenefits call them and they will tell you why it's there and explain it's a VA reminder to start moving your claim. but let them tell you whats moving to prepare for the next step. This number has shaved years off my claims and appeals.

Early morning as soon as they open up is best. I wait about 5 minutes and they pick up.

I once called 3 times in a row after you sit 17 minutes it disconnects immediately but just call back someone will answer

I wish I had an Attorney much earlier in the process. By the time my PTSD claim was finally over it was about 6500 days old. Not a typing error either. Emailing the VA Sec at that time would not have helped. A congressional did help get me denied faster at the BVA, and led to my trip to the CAVC. LOL

Attorneys are good for filing expediting it is on you by calling and emailing if you cant do it Ill try and help who I can with what I know.

Thank you so much for that email! I got a call from the Indianapolis RO saying they are going to set me up with a C&P for my knee claim. Ted got the ball rolling! I'm going to hold off a couple months on using the secretary's email. Once this claim gets done I'll email him about the NOD. The RO lady said they are working NODs from 2014 and mine was 2016. 

Thanks again!
