I submitted a claim on June 30th for PTSD(personal trauma). My C&P exam was done mid-August (exactly 3 months ago today). I called the VA to get an update and they told me they are waiting on my military personnel files and have to complete an internal SMT checklist. Is it normal for it to take so long for these types of claims? Is this a good thing? Also, they seem to have labeled my claim with MST, a term I didn't know until I called the VA for the update. Maybe that's a good sign that it may go in my favor? I'm just really frustrated and ready for the wait to be over.

Dont feel like the lone Ranger. Im not gonna tell you how long my claim took, because it may be a downer for you, and mine had nothing to do with MST. Waiting is the hardest part. Many Vets advocat
