I did a supplemental claim regarding my Severe anxiety and depression . I am already receiving SSD for this issue. My initial Claim was denied. They said it was not service related. I sent the VA 5 new pieces of evidence and asked them to look up 3 things in my service and medical records. I can't believe they did any of that in less than two weeks. I have been advise to get a lawyer for the next appeal step. Is this Normal for VA to just blow off my Appeal?

I am with Broncovet on this. I would appeal to the BVA. If you are confident enough you could try to do it yourself but that can be very difficult. I would look for a NOVA approved lawyer if you ar
