So back story, i spent 6 years in the guard including several combat deployments to iraq. I got out in 2013 and neglected filing a claim. In november of 2019 i filed my first claim for PTSD, TBI, Tinnitus, knee pain, back pain and secondary to PTSD i claimed anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance. I filed a FDC. In hindsight now i know the secondary claims should have come later.
Long story short in January they changed it to a standard claim and set me up for a C&P for PTSD only....C&P was through VES and went well. I have a CIB and arcom w v device so my stressor is confirmed automatically from what ive been reading? Ive been calling the 1000 number since january asking about the status and they give me the same answer. "You're in the development stage of blah blah blah" and that they are waiting on paperwork from the national guard. When i ask them what paperwork to see if i can produce it they tell me its internal to the VA and they cant see what it is? Lol. They've requested 4 times apparently over the past 5 months. Anyways i finally get it out of them 3 days ago that they need some type of personnel records but no specifics. Luckily i find hrc.army.mil and login with my premium login account and every personnel record from my enlistment, to my seperation from service is in there.
The thing is why are they playing dumb and not telling me specifically what was needed? Also why only a C&P for ptsd? My knee complaints have been documented through active duty dr visits and va dr visits. Also no C&P for tinnitus? Isnt that a given for infantry combat veterans? Im so disillusioned with this whole process so far. Going on 210 days and counting....

Just remember that I can't do anything like look up people, etc, and somethings I don't know- outside my paygrade. Things like appeals? WTFK- I rarely see them and have to punt those if they are inadv

This is a joke right? You have seen the people on here that served back in the 60's trying to get benefits, right. I have stuff that is going back to 1985. 210 days? I am going to have to wait longer
