    Have Questions? Get Answers.

    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question.
       
    2. Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title.
      I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
       
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
       
      Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
     
    Leading too:

    exclamation-point.pngPost straightforward questions and then post background information.
     
     
    Examples:
     
    • Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.
    Rephrase the question: I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine, but the claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
     
    • Question B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • See how the details below give us a better understanding of what you’re claiming.
    Rephrase the question: I was involved in a traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?
     
    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

I don't think that anyone knows the answer to your question. It has been asked plenty of time. 

As we all say, pick a hobby, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. 

I had a hearing 5/26/22. Still waiting for transcripts which I was told that it could be up to 90 days.

It really depends on if/when the (AOD) Advance on the Docket team picks up your claim/appeal, after that I would think no more than 30 (thirty) days. If the VA approves your claim/appeal, they still have to adjudicate it and set up your retro payment. You should have gotten a notification that the AOD accepted your request for advancement. At least this is my experience and what happened to my appeal that was recently awarded. My decision did not have a remand, it was a straight grant and the deposit hit my account within 10 (ten) working days. If this did not happen and the judge already reviewed your claim/appeal, you may get your decision sooner without the AOD getting involved.  We will see.

Now with all that said if you are a military retiree then the DFAS has to do their little thing and it can take a little longer but not sure how long is that little longer. Also, remands could hold up your benefits, but you should still get your decision letter.

I've already been told the AOD was approved and implemented. On 5/31 the appellate brief was filled out and today I learned was when the va judge reviewed the claim. Today i was told its complete and only waiting for review by the BVA. So i suppose since it should be expedited and the hearing is complete, it shouldn't be much longer (but I know it will be) Thank you.

even if dfas done there thing in the past, it still has to dfas again?

With all grants and or increases all claims and appeals must go through the adjudication process including retirees, this is how they cheat, sorry I mean, this is how they recalculate what the veteran was paid, what the veteran is owed and then the veteran gets the difference.
