VA Disability claims

[Scuba Steve33]

Finished four evaluation appointments a couple days ago. They said their reports will be sent to Oakland and I should hear back within 30-90 days. At least the ball is finally rolling.

I filed my claim on June 26th 2012, and it was finalized today.

You might be able to download of ebenefits your forms with your percentage

I just got my claim back for Tinnitus and they gave me a 10% rating but my old overall rating of 50% is still unchanged. Took like 4-5 months from doing it on ebenefits to getting my rating in the mail right now.

If I had a rating of 50% already and have a rating of 10% now for tinnitus which would equal total of 55%. Shouldn't it be rounded up to 60%?

Looks like the VFW did nothing. Today I went into a VA office at 32nd street base and they helped me refilled the claim. Explained exactly what happened, said va dropped the ball and dated it last February when I originally filed.

Almost 7 months in.

My medical stuff took ~7 months from start to medical separation to receiving compensation. Not sure if the injuries occurring down range had anything to do with the quickness of the overall process.

My sleep apnea claim is now closed I will hear if they gave me the normal 50% in 10 days ! Wish me luck! And hopefully back pay !

The VA is the new DMV. Take a number and grab a seat...it's gonna be a minute!

[todd2968]

More than a minute!! It took 3 month to get my appeal to show up on Ebenefits.

[todd2968]

JUST GOT it 60% total !!!!!!!
Now If i can just figure out what I'm getting I'll be happy!!!

Ugh,,,,, WHAT????

[DevilDawgJJ]

Got my claim two months after I got out....back in 09. Pre filed with the DAV. However, it took 2 years and 3 months to add....I say add, one dependent to my claim. That was in 2011. YMMV, for sure!!!

No news for a couple months, then I got mail from QTC Lockheed Martin out of nowhere. I thought "What does an aerospace company want with me?" and turns out it's a medical examination appointment for my claim. I'm glad that's happened.

Nice the same thing happened to me and a couple months later I got a check.
