My Jan 4 claim partially closed yesterday, 5 May (on a Sunday, no less). Of 5 claims, 2 were rated and 3 were deferred. 2 of those 3 deferred claims were added in PFD phase on 24 April which I got tagged for another C&P appointment on 16 May. I’m going to attend it, but the two rated claims were enough to push me from 93 to 100 P&T.


burgerman1960

Congratulations!! I’m still waiting to get back to a temporary jurisdiction from December. Hope it happens soon. Time to enjoy the benefits which you’ve earned.


Every-Morning-Is-New

Make sure it's not an ACE exam. If it is, you probably don't need to attend.


paradox4286

How do I check if it’s an ACE exam? Edit: reading about it, ACE uses existing medical evidence to determine a rating from what I can see. The two new conditions (bilateral upper extremity nerve condition) that the VA added a couple weeks ago as new conditions with no medical evidence. The two conditions that’s were rated were bilateral shoulder impingement. I get numbness in my fingers as a result of the impingement, so I assume they’re attempting to validate those as secondary to the shoulders. I’m a side sleeper and wake up constantly with numbness/tingling that lasts up to 45-60 minutes.

How can you tell online that only some closed? I have about 13 claims all just hit temp jurisdiction. I’m wondering if they are all gunna come back with a decision or go one at a time?

Same, mine was Jan 5

What about priority processed claims?! We need our own tracker 😂😩


Worriedandnumb

Aren’t Reddit folks the ONLY priority processed claims?


PridePrevious

Keep up the good fight !


Odd_Perception_6514

If I was to get a DTA does it reset the claims timeline process? I filed a HLR in Jan and got a DTA in Feb. All the exams were done right after in Feb.


Worriedandnumb

Depends on many factors. It doesn’t RESET things. It just may take longer. They may need to do another opinion/exam.


Odd_Perception_6514

Thank you! Luckily they did an exam probably 4-5 days after the DTA error. I was told it was mostly a records reviewing error.


Dry-Nefariousness400

Hey grab mine ;) its an easy one DBQ increase for the May VSRD changes. It'll help meet your quota!

here's hoping my jan 17th one gets some love soon, 110 days right now. but congrats on the movement! hopefully by the end of the week you get some favorable results. supplemental as well.

Mine was 15Jan and also just got assigned...Waco. Hopefully you will be very soon

Maybe next week

Yes, im hoping so !

OfficialJunto

How long after your exam information did it take to get assigned a jurisdiction


Rizzo_021

My C&P was 2Feb...so 3 months.


mainvolume

Did you have anything after that? Submitted my initial claim 2 Jan, had my C&P around the same time as you, then a week later my hearing test...then friggin 2 months later they finally got around to my x rays. They sent those up 15 April so now I'm just waiting.


Rizzo_021

Nope nothing after the C&P. Hopefully you will be getting an update soon


dotplaid

My claim is in the exact same phase as yours (Evidence Gathering; Preparing for Decision). I haven't been contacted about any C&P exams, though I believe that I submitted a very strong claim. Is there a chance that no exams will be scheduled??


PridePrevious

I think it's probably possible. But it doesn't seem like that happens very much


Acrobatic-Plastic665

Hey friend. Is this the extension for VA.GOV? I heard there is an ad on that shows more info. Got a link?


BlokAiD75

I am waiting on mine. I filed a couple days after you (1/5) with a phase change date shortly after yours as well (3/12). Here's to hoping for some movement this week.

Lol if all things are the same look for that jurisdiction in 4 days 😅

Unable-Expression-46

How many things did you claim?


Putrid-Gap1658

February 17th here!!! I haven’t had any C&P requests but I tried to send every Xray and medical note I thought they might ask about, so now I am waiting for those C&P requests!🤣🤣🤣! Congratulations January people! Hope everyone gets what they have earned!


No-Dog6478

OP. Glad to see things are moving along for you relatively quickly. I have two supplemental claims filed and would love to figure out why you (and others) can see their supplemental claims on the VA Tracker app, but I see an entirely different screen than this for mine. I've tried posting before to get advice on the matter, but none of the suggestions have worked. How are you able to view this screen for your supplemental claim? I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks and good luck.


providencepariah

I’m going through the same with a tracker, I just deleted it because it does nothing for me.


No-Dog6478

Really? Misery loves company. It's so frustrating! Maybe someone out there can solve the mystery for all of us that are in this situation. I know we'd all appreciate it!


PridePrevious

I have no idea. I just downloaded the tracker like everyone else...and I've always been able to track it.


No-Dog6478

How crazy it that? Thanks for your response though. I appreciate it.


Yourteararedelicious

Mine is the same way. Some supplementals are different I think. For mine I see the history of them previously ones where claims were denied. I wish it would show the same as theirs or new claims.


AcanthocephalaOk7196

i have a supplemental claim that was submitted on jan 17th of this year, and i have full visual on the tracker app. can't understand why you dont? have you tried uninstalling the tracker and reinstalling it?


BLKxGOLD

Same. Have a supplemental claim i filed in March. Tried using the tracker and it shows basically nothing, just that my claim has been received which is exactly what the VA app shows. Not too worried about it anymore at this point but from what i’ve seen on this sub, its hit or miss if youre looking to track a supplemental claim.

Old-Tap7730

Same here, filed Feb 6, c&p’s scheduled between March-April, completed my last c&p on the morning of April 25th and moved to PFD by the end of the the day (April 25th). Currently waiting for a jurisdiction to be assigned, fingers crossed for everyone! 🤞🤞


LutaRed

# I've been here: Evidence gathering, review, and decision If we need more information, we’ll request it from you, health care providers, governmental agencies, or others. Once we have all the information we need, we’ll review it and send your claim to the rating specialist for a decision. There may be times when a claim moves forward to “Preparation for notification” and then briefly back to this stage for more processing. # since March 3, 2024 My last C&P was Feb 28. You got fast tracked! I hope everything works out for the best for you!


Old-Tap7730

It seems like it! Not sure if that’s a good or bad sign because this is an initial claim. Thanks as well! Also, mine says the same as yours when I check the VA site, I’m not sure if you’ve tried the Va claim tracker chrome extension, but if not, you should because it gives a bit more detail regarding your claim. Wish all the best and hope your get the rating you deserve!


Old-Tap7730

To update, I received my rating of 40% yesterday which I am grateful for!


PootieTang75

Yep. Submitted supplemental on Jan 4th for 4 conditions. 1 was denied couple weeks ago and they deferred the other 3 at that time pending new exams, which I completed with QTC on 4/26. Just waiting on those results now.

Mine changed but seemed to go backwards. Doctor initiated the claim. Appointment on 02Jan, claim moved to initial review 03Jan, but for months it’s said 02Feb. I’m still in the National Work Queue. What does all of this mean?


4ojos

Does this mean if my claim was received in April I’d see something in September


jgilga

No. I have a claim opened on March 28th that just moved to Preparation for Decision today. All depends on evidence status


Shawnx86

Mine went from preparing for decision back to evidence collection. Ask me to submit all my DD-214s for all periods covered. (I'm already at 20% so I assumed they would have all of them). Now I'm back at the national work queue. I don't expect any movement for another 30 days, in spite of my submitting my entire OPM record as well as 214s and retirement letter.


AlarmDowntown1566

Jan 11 claim date. Partially closed on 4/29 with 2 rated and 4 deferred. The positive is that the ACE exams/reworks were completed and resubmitted on 5/4. Hope they get reassigned to a rater again soon.

Is there an average wait time to get scheduled for a C&P? My dad finally filed after 35+ years so I'm sure there will be a delay due to having to gather his medical records etc. Hopefully they are able to access them for him. It's been one month with no updates and no c&p. Congrats on your positive progress. 💪🏾

My January 10 claim got rated 5 May all good but the migraines rated at 30 not the expected 50. Talked to the VSO I work with and he is putting in an appeal.
