Woke up to this!!
I was not expecting this at all but here we are. So many mixed emotions this morning! I just wanted to hop on here to share the good news, and thank everyone on this Reddit you were all such a huge help and I hope I can be of assistance to others on this crazy journey. February 2023 was intent to file and August 2023 was when they received the claim and today it finished with 2 claims deferred. Thanks again to everyone and good luck to those still in the process!

THANKFUL FOR THE PACT ACT

I filed in 2006 – Denied, I was crushed and disillusioned. Finally had the mental capacity to try again in 2019 – Denied. I gave up, until a co-worker started talking about the Pact Act. I work for the government and most vets I work with has some kind of rating. I was racking up medical bills with my insurance and my coworkers encouraged me to try one more time using the Pact Act since I was deployed in the Gulf War. As you can see I’m at 90% and can’t believe it! I started with an initial claim and supplemental. My initial claim gave me 30% last month for migraines with sinusitis and 5 joints with osteoarthritis was deferred. Today I opened the app and I’m at 90%. My supplemental claim was partially rated. 70% PTSD and 30% IBS, with asthma/bronchitis deferred. I’m so thankful and can’t wait to get rid of my medical bills. This subreddit has been a lifesaver, thanks for your support! Don’t give up, this is life changing for me.
Submitted my claim 12 December 2023. First claim ever. I checked yesterday and I was still PFD, no temp jurisdiction. Logged in today after work and was surprised when it said that my claim was closed. Read my decision letter and I was awarded 90%! My tinnitus was denied which I was pretty upset about because I worked F-15 and A-10 flightline avionics where I was exposed to loud noises on the daily. It won’t change my rating but I may HLR that one just because I definitely have constant tinnitus that began while I was in.
I just wanted to say thank you to this sub. I gained so much knowledge and insight into this process from you guys, and I’m so happy that we all stand together and help our fellow vets out! I’ve been out since 2013… always dragged my feet about applying because I didn’t think I deserved it because I was inside the wire for all of my deployments, but many of my army/marine buddies who were infantry encouraged me to apply. Don’t ever sell yourself short. We all served and deserve to be compensated for what we did, and the lifelong issues that we all have. Best of luck to everyone!

Claim Closed 3/13, one claim raised from 0% to 10%, other two claims are deferred for clarification. 30+ days and I have heard nothing. Called VERA and could not get a single answer as to if the exams were favorable and what was wrong with the DBQ (something filled out wrong, etc.) Im also unable to track anything as my claim says it is closed and I have no open claims on the VA website. Am I just going to check one day and it will be there? Or will there be a way for me to track these deferrals.

Just want to say thank you for this group. I was granted 100% service connected today on my 6th claim since retiring in 2011. The information contained here helped me to regroup after denials and keep going when I honestly didn’t want to fight anymore. Thank you all and keep going!

Just got news earlier today I hit 100%. Still in shock… So my first question is how do I know if I’m P&T or not. I’ve seen other post where it clearly says it next to the percentage. I do not see anything for me, do l assume I am not P&T? Second question, my intent to file was put in December 8 or 9 of 2022. I finally submitted my claim December 10 2023. Yes very dumb of me to not be on top of that and do it sooner. Since I am a day or two after the year rule for backpay from intent to final, is that final? I feel like I’ve read somewhere I can fight to get back pay from that beginning date since it is so close. Please let me know, grateful all around but 4 month back pay compared to 16 month back pay is to big of a difference to not at least ask. Rated for 80% physical and 100% MH

I had my claim go from preparing for decision to temp jurisdiction back to review of evidence. Is this normal? I’m guessing it means someone looked at it and needed to gather more info for it but I wanted to double check.
My account has also bumped up in disability already from 80 to 90 but it’s from things I put in on my current claim which has gone back a step. The injuries were backdated to my date of getting out of the Army so I’m not sure if that means it got approved and other stuff hasn’t yet? Any insight is welcome and appreciated.

Notes: called VES to check up on my exam from February since I hadn’t seen it uploaded. Again they told me they sent it to the VA on the 23rd of Feb. also asked about my last exam from the beginning of April. They said that it was sent to the VA on the 12th of April. Only exam that has been uploaded so far is hearing. So I decided to give VERA a call. Spoke to the rep told him the situation. First thing he says, “well, this isn’t the first time VES has done this.” Second thing he said was, “your claim has been assigned to someone, they just can’t do anything cause the exams aren’t there.” He said that he would contact the VA liaison to VES and get them to upload the DBQs.
Guess we’ll see how that goes, or if anything actually happens.
I filed a claim in 91, they did nothing.. no decision, not closed… everything I filed for was in my med records. was in a car accident while on leave. last filed in November they denied everything except tinnitus… I broke my jaw, lost teeth… denied…. a bit angry today… with the info in my records, why did they deny me? used a vso she wants to appeal.. asdo I, is this going to be a decades long trial?
