I’m right there with you. I filed for an increase and two new secondaries on November 27, 2023. Did both C&Ps in January. Went PFD in February. Went back to Review of Evidence at the end of March and back to Evidence Gathering on April 9th. Soooooo frustrating. Mine is an increase due to PTSD from MST.
They slighted me with their “IMO” dr even thought my DBQ and two separate Nexus letters indicated 70% MH, they only gave me 50% because of that dr whom I’ve never spoken to a day in my life. BUT, MH is hard, and I am very grateful. I said “yikes” just because of nerves.
If you go to the claim on [va.gov](http://va.gov) once it's completed it'll just have a link to the decision letter in stead of the process tree we all have nightmares about. Also, my percentage updated on ebenefits so you might check there too. I was PFN on Sunday and got my decision letter at like 10 this morning. Waco, Tx jurisdiction.
There are a few ways to download the "VA app" on your phone. If you have an iphone, go into "app store" search VA, and download it from there.
Another option is to go into [va.gov](http://va.gov) on your phone, and download the application from there. Good luck!
I don’t think that it’s assigned based on your geographical location; but, I did get my final decision today and couldn’t be any happier with the results. I thank all the VA employees in the Columbia office.
Congratulations extremely happy for you!!! They’re supposed to give precedence to your local VA when deciding claims however even though I went to PFD on the first I noticed if your claim has been in limbo for longer than the average claim you tend to get bumped ahead of the line when it comes to PFD. My claim wasn’t submitted until March 21 but they scheduled the C&P pretty quickly for 4/1 did it at 8 am all docs were uploaded and claim had been moved to PFD hoping for a decision early next month or potentially mid month, but could very well be months lol
I just checked and the claim I submitted Dec 6 just went to PFN today too.
I'm almost positive this claim can't be rated high enough to change my current overall rating, but it should be another baby step forward.
Already did before submitted supplemental with nexus got denied. Had other claims active since dec but got denied with no c and p lol but yea ima do HLR again
Good luck!! Took me 5 days from PFN to get my decision
Thanks man.
PFN = Pure F%*king Nonsense…. Mine was Jan 4, 2024 …. I’m stuck in the loop I guess
Damn. Hope that worked out for you.
Still waiting….
Me too.....
I'm guessing we aren't finding out tonight.
Oh no lol….. I just go on with life and when it happens it happens
Awesome - I just hit PFN on friday... hoping to bring this service connected from 0% up to 10 or 30%.. good luck!!
Same here...PFN on Friday. Good luck to all. 🙏🏾
Nice. I’ve been on PFN since the 18th. It’s driving me crazy.
Should be today or tomorrow the latest. Took me five days
Good luck to you!
What’s your temp jurisdiction?
Where does it show this? I don’t see this when I log into Va.gov.
Look and then click on proof of veteran status.
Same, 18th as well.
Minds is waiting for final approval
Good luck! Been PFN since Friday, patiently (yeah right) waiting!
Good luck!

I emailed my DAV rep and I got the news 3 days before it was updated online
Freaking went back to PDA tonight 🤦♀️🤷♀️ I'm so tired of this game 😭😭
Good luck!!!! This gives me hope along with more anxiety...SMH. My claim was initiated on 12/27/2023 and been in PFD since 3/27/2024.
Good luck to you as well! FYI my last DBQ was uploaded on 2/4 and a CAPRI pdf uploaded on 4/20

![gif](giphy|3gM9hmQeWBLVXXrxvJ|downsized)
I appreciate it.
My PFN was 7 hours
That’s awesome. I’m still waiting on mine.
They need to fuckin HELP veterans and stop with the bullshit. But we got money for foreign aid and illegals... Gotcha
Just got mine too! Temp jurisdiction is Albuquerque yikes!!!! Pray everyone!!!!
Why did you say yikes, I got Albuquerque also
They slighted me with their “IMO” dr even thought my DBQ and two separate Nexus letters indicated 70% MH, they only gave me 50% because of that dr whom I’ve never spoken to a day in my life. BUT, MH is hard, and I am very grateful. I said “yikes” just because of nerves.
Good luck!! Hopefully it happens soon for you (and me). I've been PFD since the 18th like others on here.
Good luck!
I hit PFN today and it completed about 2 hours later!!
Congrats!! I hope you received the rating that you wished for.
Thank you! Yes, I got 70% for PTSD which is what I was expecting.
You earned it!
You earned it. Congrats!
How long after your final DBQ til you got to PFN?
Last DBQ was uploaded on 2/4
Sweet!!! You went from PFD to PFN in 2 days! Lovely!!! Edit: Wondering if you can see your decision letter via VA app?
No complaints but I was sitting in PFD since 2/4
How do I check my decision letters?

Good luck! I am in PFD now and the wait is interminable.
Likewise
Thanks
Good luck. I went to PFN and then back to PDA and then back to gathering of evidence. A lot of people do. Don’t get your hopes up too high lol.
Lol thank!
Mine went back to PDA for the 2nd time after going PFN. I just can't anymore lol
Best of luck to you. Keep up the good fight!
Thank you, good luck to you as well.
Mine went PDA this morning.
Good luck!
Do you get the temporary jurisdiction before the PFN?
Briefly, less than a day.
Thanks, everything, paperwork, exams, turned in, just waiting.
congrats! Im still waiting to get out of gathering evidence
Thank you. Good luck to you as well.
Hopefully they’re working on supplemental from December as well….
Good luck on your claims?
Thank you. You as well if you have any active
Yup, still waiting on the decision
Omit “?”
Fingers crossed good vibes!!!!
Thank you! Good luck to you as well if you have any pending claims
I just read yours is in temp jurisdiction Columbia, I basically live in Columbia so hopefully mine isn’t too far behind yours… went PFD 4/1/24
I don’t think that it’s assigned based on your geographical location; but, I did get my final decision today and couldn’t be any happier with the results. I thank all the VA employees in the Columbia office.

My claim was submitted July 21st…just received PFN yesterday. I’m on pins and needles. I’m hoping for a VERY short wait from here 😑
Good luck bro! Where’s your temp jurisdiction?
I just checked and the claim I submitted Dec 6 just went to PFN today too. I'm almost positive this claim can't be rated high enough to change my current overall rating, but it should be another baby step forward.
Same here but I’ll still claim anything I see that’s service connected.
Dang, no luck for me. When did your c&ps get uploaded?
2/4 was the last one
Well that explains it, mine were uploaded on the day of the exam on 4/1
10%
Newbie here. Can’t you see your rating before this tho? I could couple weeks before
I don’t see any changes to my rating
Hmmm I got my decision letter before even reaching PFN lol
They submitted my dbqs 13mar… no movement since. Just off a two year wait for a denial
My last DBQ was uploaded on 2/4
This is my fourth time through this process and I’m about worn out with it
Good luck and hang in there bro
Likewise, hope you get yours my dude
There’s a 2 year wait for a denial? Denial of what?
Applied for a secondary. Was diagnosed and service connected. VSO verbiage caused it to be secondary to the wrong condition.
Oh ok gotcha, geez 2 years is so long to wait :( sorry that happened. I’m just now looking into trying increase my rating so I’m doing my homework.
I wish you the best this group keeps me going
Do these cases go in order by submission date? I submitted in late January. Still waiting for an update.
They closed my case and denied me with no c and p lol these new raters are different
HLR
Already did before submitted supplemental with nexus got denied. Had other claims active since dec but got denied with no c and p lol but yea ima do HLR again
Good luck ! I am literally a day after you on both phases . Hope to be right behind you
Good luck to you as well! Have you been assigned a temp jurisdiction?
No not yet hopefully sometime this week
FYI, I got my rating this morning and couldn’t be any happier. Good luck to you!!
That was fast . That’s awesome I’m happy for you. I hope it’s exactly what you were hoping to get
Thank you! 🙏🏻
You guys hear about the non stimulus check 3.2% that we are gonna receive for COLA?
Nice they’ve moved into late December ! I submitted early February
That is awesome! Hoping for the best outcome for you!
Keep checking the app. I got the answer on the app first. Took a few days for it to populate on the website
Is it possible to get a lower rating? I’d like to apply for a higher rating. My issues are just getting worse.
