I decided to call the VA today to see what the status of claim/appeal was at...thinking they would tell me the same thing...no decision has been made.
Well today I was taken off guard...I was told by the VA rep. (800 #) that my SO rep. should be calling on my behalf since the Mo. Commission of Veterans has my Power of Attny. this was the first time I was ever told this...that they are the one's who should be doing the leg work...and getting back to me. I told them that the Mo. Comm. of Vet. office that I go to that there is no Service Officer...that they are waiting on a replacement...so she went ahead and told me that the Statement of Case has been done and is at the Review Officer and that a decision will be made and that I will be contacted by mail of the decision. I never even received any letters asking for further information...after my c/p in oct. 05 but I have still been going to my weekly therapy appointments...o well...life in the fast lane.
I told the lady what about the Personal hearing that I requested...she told me again that I needed to contact my SO...
My question is if there is already of SOC done...does that mean I have been denied? I read somewhere that a Statement of Case normally means denial...I don't know what to think...
My husband thinks that maybe they are going to approve it that is why a personal hearing was not schedualed because there would be no need if it was approved...
confused in Mo. any thoughts or experiance on this...
