jfrei Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Now I know it can hope quickly under FDC and go to various stages here and there. But I have filed a claim for SMC twice and never had my primary doctor fill out the 21-2680 bc being oblivious to what the VA wants and their own C P examiner saying it wasn’t needed I didn’t have my doctor fill it out. So now I know after the first denial get one filled out filed claim on the 12th and it’s already in Preparation for a decision. I know that’s usually a indicator denial from my past occurrences with them but this time it’s got me wondering they know have the SMC aid and attendance application and can see my areas where I need it. So that being said has anyone had a Aid and Attendance application go through quickly? Estimate end date is Jan-Feb. 2019 Edited December 19, 2018 by jfrei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfrei Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Geez my first claim took about 17 months when I applied and they sent me to a C and P and never told me to have a 21-2680 filled by my doctor. So I just opened a new claim with the application so when if and when it’s granted I can always fix the effective date in an appeal. So I will be getting the new rate as I wait my time for an appeal is and was my thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
