Back to evidence review

[Mantana]

Backstory:

Mental health claim filed April 2019

July 2019 added DBQ with mental health diagnosis

Dec 2019 decision didn't include mental health claim. 

Dec 2019 called and informed Va I didn't get a rating.

Jan 2020 claim reopened 

Feb 16 2020 attend c and p

Feb 21 2020 moved to prep for decision 

Feb 28 2020 moved back to review of evidence 

Feb 28 get a call from my vso telling me there is a rating decision in my file, but my claim still states review of evidence and my overall rating does not yet reflect the new decision.

After finding out I had a c and p exam i obtained an updated DBQ and submitted it in early Feb.

VA.GOV states you have 1 year to submit new evidence when you file a claim. Is my claim being reopened after the decision or did they realize they missed my updated DBQ? The hotline doesn't know anything other than my account notes all evidence received. 

I actually have a copy of the decision and effective dates and rating decision and code sheet. I don't understand why it would go back after decision was made 

 

I also have another claim pending in the decision phase

Also looking at these dates  your claim was still in a timely review  it was never closed  so how could they reopen it?

you still have until April 2020 Before your 1 year time limit to appeal is up

re read these dates.

Looks like to me your ok until April 2020? if your claim is still in adjudication in April , but don't forget to send in an Appeal or update your current appeal   don't let  your appeal time line run out.

 it sounds like they are having a problem with the evidence you submitted 

I just realized I looked at the evidence they say was reviewed on the decision and the DBQ I added in early Feb was not listed. Thankfully it doesn't change anything my decision was exactly what I was expecting. Hopefully it just flows back to prep decision this week

Jan 2020 claim reopened 

 

Yeah I received a decision on some other issues and they missed my mental health claim completely. I literally had to tell them to fix it. They probably wanted to defer it but forgot? Idk it was very strange
