Question
Yharris
Good day all! I have been following this forum for a while since I filed my initial claims and am very impressed with how questions are answered. So here I go....I filed my intent back in July, 2019. I met with a VA service representative who told me what I needed to get in order to submit my claim. It took several months to get all DBQ's filled out by my primary care provider and my counselor. I submitted all paperwork including buddy statements for an assault that occurred while serving overseas in 1995. My question is this...I uploaded everything through ebenefits, fully developed and was scheduled two C&P exams with LHI in November. I'm not sure how the exams went, but I was experiencing flare ups with kidney stones, back pain and my blood pressure was 159/120 at the time. I have like 8 claims that I never knew I could claim until just recently. I was honorably discharged in 1998. I had a back injury in 1995 which is documented in my service medical records. I was a Master at Arms while serving and since I've been out of service could not resume the profession but am gainfully employed. An exit letter in my service records states that I should only work a desk job. Will this be service connected? Also my projected decision date is June, 2020. Is this standard from what you all have heard of in filing a fully developed claim? Sorry for the long posting. Take care

First, do not apologize. If the back injury was in service and they said you could only work a desk job that is most likely going to get service connected. As for the secondary's I am not sure what

Yharris. Yes indeed, welcome. Good advise of course from Buck52. Hadit won't relieve your stress, but I think if you ask the right questions, provide the info necessary, and try following our advise,
