Jul 2017, intent to file. Jul 2018 Filed. 4 total contentions 2 new, 2 increases. Week of 15 Aug multiple C&P exams, additional exam first week of September. Claim went through GOE, ROE, PDN and received my BBE the first week of Oct with the 2 new contentions approved (10% Tinnitus, 10% Hip, secondary to lower leg injury/nerve damage) (Super Quick)The 2 increases were deferred. 2 more C&P and now sitting in GOE. Last update was last weekwhen Request 5 closed out asking for Exam Request - Request for Clarification (no long needed) which to me means the doctor needed to provide more information on my claimed increase. All and all a pretty quick claim as I approach the 120 day point. One in the increases is for OSA from 30% to 50%... I received my CPAP last week and am amazed by how much better I wake up feeling. I still wake up in the middle of the night 5 or 6 times but still much better than before. If I do get approved to the 50% it would bump me from roughly 92% to 95%.

23 Nov 18 - Request 6 open and closed another Exam Request - Request for Clarification (no longer needed) I hope this means they are getting close to moving it out of GOE. does anyone know if those are just for a Doctor's clarification on notes they provided to the VA? Thanks in advance.

13 Dec requests 7 and 8 both closed.. both no longer needed... "secondary action required" - no longer needed and exam request - no longer needed. still in GOE... another update this morning, the "!" with Requested Documents are past due... it would be a nice Christmas Present to have this wrapped "pun intended"up this week.. but at least someone is working on my claim... Merry Christmas and God Bless

It could be anything. I have had a claim sitting in Prep for decision since June. Estimated completion date was changed 4 times until August 12th, and has sat there since. At this point I wouldn't hold my breath that it will done before Christmas or the New Year. Hopefully it is favorable whenever it does go through.

Absolutely. I know a lot of others would disagree but honestly, I'm seeing a lot of movement in this PFD phase around the 10 to 12 day mark for a lot of people this year. hopefully we are in that same category. None the less, ill definitely keep you updated.

My experience is that a second signature required is the PDA stage.

On the bright side of things, at least someone has been in your claim. Mine is just baking waiting for the next cause of action. None the less, I hope for good fortune and even better outcome when all is said and done!!

ok Debbie downer...lol..I had a secondary action required earlier in my claim along with 9 additional exam requests and request for clarification, that are now no longer needed... 3 C&Ps, one emergency room visit, and a APAP machine later, I guess I'm just trying to figure out what information they are in need of for a decision.I'm going to sit back, drink an adult beverage and relax....(and stop stalking ebennies...)

That's what I'm having a hard time with. I;m checking ebennies about 10 times a day hoping to see some change. I have to find something to do. It would be totally different if we were given like some sort of update anytime our status changed. an email or text notification showing status change would be ideal.

So, Jan 29, Request 10 closed - no longer needed - request for exam (Opened and Closed on the same day) Still in GOE, but good to know that the information was available to them and I didn't need another C&P.

You are going to drive yourself crazy stalking Ebenefits and trying to figure out what is going on with your claim. I will tell you this, when you do see requests that say they are no longer needed, could mean a lot of different things. My rep text me on Monday saying I am being brought in for another C&P exam (3rd one) and said to be on the look out for a call to schedule. As of today, nothing yet but I looked at Ebenefits and sure enough Request 10 closed for exam processing - no longer needed. The requests you see are internal notes made by the VA/rater. Just because you see it open/closed the same day doesn't mean they have what they need. You might still receive a C&P exam or you might not if the rater specifically asked for a medical opinion without you having to go to a C&P exam. It also might mean the rater needed clarification on the already submitted medical opinions.
Again, it could be anything.
PS, post #14 you said you were going to stop stalking Ebenefits but post #16, just two hours later you are back stalking Ebenefits....Let it go brother and just try to occupy yourself with something else

Well we are heading to Vegas for Super Bowl party and fun so I will NOT be checking Ebenefits! I promise! I will confess, I checked it this morning because I couldn't figure out why I was getting calls on work phone and looked at my profile and sure enough my work phone was listed as my primary. I changed that and then I checked my claim on Ebenefits and sure enough I have another C&P exam request processing for my claim. So I am sure I will be getting the call next week to set up the exam.
No Ebenefits for me until Wednesday.....I SWEAR!!! LOL

no need to look at ebennies this week, received another C&P appointment for this week on Friday, and was surprised it is for Sleep Apnea/Asthma..again...think this is the 4th sleep apnea/Asthma appointment for this claim. and before you ask, no not overweight...moderate OSA was in service diagnosed. I use a APAP. currently 30%, received APAP in October 18after my current PC provider realized my active duty doc never completed the paperwork to get me my APAP while active duty...

AEW is Audit Error Worksheet. That was likely an internal thing that was being tracked and ebenefits registered it as a new claim.

C&P went well yesterday, 45 minutes, Doctor went right down the DBQ for both Asthma and Sleep Apnea. Think they were trying to decide what gives me the higher rating (but honestly who knows)? Since you can only have one of those ratings, if i remember correctly? APAP check, medicine being taken check, inhaler check, emergency room visit check, 4 doctors visits in the last 5 months for breathing issues check....I can happily say I've never had a bad C&P doctor visit.
Feb 12, 2019#32
11 Feb 19 - another C&P schedule for this week,for another PFT, this is my third PFT with the VA (VES)in the past 6 months. not including one I did at my regular docs...I just don't get it.. (Glass half full - someone is working on my claim and it'll be done sooner rather than later, hopefully last C&P)
Only thing i can think of is this is a tie breaker C&P PFT? First one bad - Second one good - schedule for a third to make sure we get it right? which I am thankful for.
Feb 12, 2019#33
12 Feb 19 - Got a call from the contracted C&P people - the PFT I did a few months ago along with the chest x-rays will work for this. C&P cancelled! I guess I had two different case numbers with them (the Contracted providers), they are now combined and file is moving back to the VA!
