Hey Guys

 

I know this is probably asked like a million times over and over again but anyone know how long initial claims are taking to process? Im kind of going stir crazy. I filed December 10th 2018, I had my C&P exams on Jan. 18th. On Feb 21st they closed a request for information stating "No longer needed" (What does that even mean) And I have been sitting at gathering evidence ever since.

 

I read over my exams and everything seems favorable so I know a rating is coming, just wondering when I could see the next step happening.

What does your nexus of opinion say near the bottom of your C&P exams; if they were done at a VA facility?

I suggest you stay off ebenefits and vets.gov (I've gone crazy too, so you're not the first or last. It's normal).

The only accurate updates are when you see an increase or no change in your disability percentage in ebenefits OR  when you receive your granted or denial letter in your mail.

Hope that answers your question.

Best wishes on your claim.

I called and apparently they're still waiting on my personal records and that is it, annoying though. I had three different exams and they all have "at leastly like as not" as far as a nexus is concerned, the exam for my PTSD is pointing towards 70% as well but Im preparing to be denied since I hear majority of initial claims are denied

"At least as likely as not" (equal to or greater than 50% probability). Meaning your were given favorable nexus of opinions.

 

Had you received "Less likely than not" (less than 50% probability) it wouldn't look good.

Hopefully, you receive the proper ratings and not get low-balled.

Best wishes.

.It means they have enough evidence to make a decision  so I hope you sent in your evidence to prove your claim(obviously) you did?

it may still say gathering evidence   they just have not upgraded your ebenfits  it may say that to the end  and you get your decision.

Just from what I read in your post   it sounds favorable but I have no Ideal what you will be rated.
