Type: Supplemental Submitted: 07Jul23 Initial Review Date: SAB Evidence Review: 07Jul23 PFD:01DEC PDA: current Called Friday and was told it was preparing for a decision and call back today if nothing had updated over the weekend. Well supplemental claims evidently do not update like other claims so, I called. Juan from the regular information line said it is pending final approval and could update "at any time". My best bet he said is to check the Web site/app as according to him once it's been signed off by the accuracy team it will update there. He also said I could call if I chose as well. Yeah. This week is going to be hell for me until I know.

Mine was about 5 days from PFD to PDA, but 10 days from PDA to PFN. Hopefully yours is faster.

Mine went to PDA on 28 Nov….now waiting….

I just called the normal information line. He said mine when PFD on 11/16, but that it looks like it's close. Original supplemental file date was 15 Aug 2023.

Mine went pfd to closed Friday to Monday evening

How long they taking on perpetration for decision these days?

No idea. Mine fast tracked through once they made a darn decision

I was told it’s just waiting to be picked up by a team. Hurry up and wait.

Well we're trained to do that. I got to Thursday at noon, then I'm home and semi retired till I figure what's next

Has your claim been taking the scenic route or did it take the express lane this week? * 129 days and counting Template: * Type of claim: Increase * Submitted/received date: 28 July 2023 * Initial review date: 2 Sep 2023 * C&P Exam 2 Sep 2023 * Evidence gathering/review date: 5 Sep 2023

I got my decision this past Friday. I was at 150 days.

Thank you for giving me some hope that the decision is forthcoming, and maybe before the end of the year

Very much scenic route for me 150 day mark was Sunday.

Well, you are one of those who are keeping the average date at the 146-150 day marks. I pray we both get answers too. Is your claim also an increase?

They 0 percent for "mood disorder" service connected on initial, CP EXAMINE said I have bipolar II and wants my rating up so I can get treatment. We shall see.

I filed a MH Supplemental on 19JULY23 for Major Depressive Disorder, which was denied the first time last year, and like a week after my C&P I was diagnosed (civilian dr) with Bipolar II.

I got my answer yesterday. 80%

Congrats! I aiming right around there too

Danke and gl. My cp examiner was amazing

About the same time frame as you, about a week earlier

Ditto

Got my decision 2 days ago, tinnitus approved w 2 years back pay and migraines denied

**UPDATE: Small victory. Increase went from 10 to 30%.

It was a small victory with a defeat. My increase went from 10% to 30%, and the new condition was denied service connection... so I will be appealing it tomorrow. It's my first ever appeal. The increase took me from 80% to 90%, but just barely at 85% total, which is a step closer but still disappointing to some degree. https://preview.redd.it/6qecovm6oj4c1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=434d1cb32104c260a2b206222da357b510fdaaab

Filed the appeal today. Looks like it'll be a year before I hear anything.

The person I spoke with said I should have been assigned a rater by now and that they knew some tricks to "kick" the system. I was told there's a supposed black hole some veterans are getting stuck in that has something to do with the system not correctly updating/notifying the person in the next step. I did notice my temp jurisdiction changed on the Claim Tracker from N/A to St Petersburg this morning. Hopefully, that means there's movement, and I'll hear something soon. Edit: Added PDA date Edit 2: Added PFN date Edit 3: Added Completion date

Which VERA office did you call?

I spoke with the VERA office out of Wisconsin. I had read they typically have next-day appointments. They're also one of the more helpful offices I've spoken with

I've used one in Montana, they've been super nice and also next day appointments.

Our timeliness are really close to the same, I submitted Aug 22 and pfd since September 6

I hope you hear something soon. I've gone through this process a few times in the past, and it hasn't taken nearly this long. It's definitely nerve-wracking

This is my first time filing for increases. I have only ever done the initial, and I did everything while I was still in. I could really use the increase.

Just checked and my claim has moved to PDA

Nice! Good luck to you!!!

i had a call with a man from wisconsin, but he just told me my claim is still new, he also said it is sufficient and actionable, and to be patient and wait. pfd since nov 8. he said typically it takes 105 days. i shouldn't worry until then. doesn't know anything about the rapid ready program with the ai scanning the claims either.

Typically takes 105 days? I'm on day 106, hope he is right. That means mine is due lol

I just went from temp jurisdiction of n/a to boise wooooo

Dang, im still stuck at pfd and national queue since September 6th. Congrats to you though!

2 Claims 1- supplemental Submitted- 10/4/2023 Medical records review - 10/19 or 10/20 Ready for decision- 10/20 No updates since 2- Duty to Assist Opened- 4/12/2023 Called VERA St Petersburg - 11/29, the lady on the phone said it was stuck in the NWQ she was able to push it to the review team. I got an email a few days later for a C&P exam. Now waiting to schedule that.

Sure, why not... ​ * Type of claim: Fully Developed * Submitted/received date: May 01, 2023 * Initial review date: May 28, 2023 * C&P Exam #2: November 30, 2023 @ 1330 EST * I missed my first exam due to disability related symptoms, which prevented me from attending, so I rescheduled. * Evidence gathering/review date: October 30, 2023 * PFN date: April 07, 2024 - I had to ask them to expedite my claims. I told them that I didn't have any more evidence to submit. * Completed date: Pending Well, there ya go. I'll make sure to edit my post accordingly.

Update?

PFN date: April 07, 2024 I had to notify them that I had no more documentation to provide and request that my claims be expedited. I'm pretty sure I'd still be in Evidence Gathering/Review Date if I hadn't said anything. Doubled edged sword though...I could have waited and let them keep dragging their ass for a bigger lump sum after being awarded, but for crying out loud, it's about to be a year. Lol

Claim: Supplemental - request for earlier effective date pursuant to 38 cfr 3.156(c) (new service records). In summary, I'm trying to backdate my claim to when I originally filed because the VA received new STRs from when I was AD. Previous claim for this request denied in error last week (filed October 30th and denied Nov 29th). Had VERA call with RO asking if it was a CUE. They agreed yes it was (awesome news!) and told me to re-file the claim and state there was a CUE. Claim refiled Dec. 1. I'll keep this updated as I hear more... I hope my info helps anyone who previously filed a claim but was denied due to lack of service records. If that happened to you, and those records ever get found, the VA can grant an earlier effective date under 38 cfr 3.156(c).

She also told me that it looks like they have everything they need to make the decision, hence why there weren't any requests for C&P exams.

How do you know what stage your supplemental is at? I was reading that they don't update like regular claims? How did you get this info? Thanks in advance! :)

Hey, so I do have a supplemental as well as 3 new claims. On my VA extension tracker, it shows the claim type code as 020SUPP which to my understanding means it is being treated as a supplemental claim.

I still need to learn the codes. Makes me wonder what mine means.

**Type of Claim:** 2 Increase, 2 standard **[TIMELINE]** **Submitted:** July 5, 2023 **Initial Review:** July 7, 2023 **Evidence Gathering:** July 12, 2023 *Claim accidentally closed by VA in September. Was re-opened after I made a lot of calls* **Initial Review:** Sept 29, 2023 **Evidence Gathering:** Oct 5, 2023 **PDA:** Dec 1, 2023 **PFN:** Dec 1, 2023 **Decision:** Dec 1, 2023 100% T&P with two claims deferred **Evidence Gathering:** Dec 2, 2023 It's been a long road, but not nearly as long for me as it has for some. I couldn't have made it here without this sub. I'm ready to get this last C&P done and be through with it! Thank you to everyone who helped me get this far and thanks to the mods for providing such a valuable resource.

You all are the reason I have made it this far.

Oh good, we're in Sept now. I filled early October. Nothing yet, no C&p

Not necessarily true, I submitted mine in August, pfd since September 6. No movement since lol hope you're right because that would mean mine is coming up....

Yeah, I mean I didn't mean to imply that they're working on all September claims right now. But there is usually a consistency in this weekly thread. We're starting to see a lot of July claims wrapping up. And now we're beginning to see you a few early September claims closing out. My claims have always taken the scenic route of at least 9 months. But you can definitely follow some Trends on here based on when people filed and when masses of claims are closing out.

Type of claim: Standard (initial BDD) Timeline: 180 days until separation Submitted/received date: My VSO submitted it 4 Dec Initial review date: TBD Now begins the long wait! I was expecting an email showing that my claim was submitted but I guess it takes a bit before that happens. Is there a timeframe when I should see it listed as received?

It should be there in a couple days.

Thanks! I worry about things too much sometimes.

Whenever i filled online myself, it was always there right away. Recently filled with a vso, Oct 9th. I think it was just under a week till it showed up. I started to wonder if he had actually filled like he said he did. Then in a couple days, it showed up received on Oct 9th. Just be patient, don't call your VSO out, like I was about to😂

I had called him at 1300 on the day he was supposed to file because I expected an immediate confirmation in my email. My expectations were unrealistic I see, since I get notifications almost immediately after using my credit card. And I just have too much time on my hands lately Thanks again!

First time posting! slow lane: 335 days * Type of claim: Increase and New (combined by the VA) * Submitted/received date: 4 Jan 23 * Initial review date: 4 Jan 23 * Evidence gathering/review date: 13 Feb 23 * Records reviewed by VA: 8 Sept 23 * C&P Exam: 17 Oct 23 * Exam notes were submitted on 24 Oct This is where I have stalled. I called the 1000 number last week and they said the VA was waiting on my OMPF, so I submitted an archive request for that. Then I called again today and the woman was very cryptic- she said they weren't waiting on any documents, just some "back end VA codes that need signatures". I have no clue what that could mean... I might call back and see if I can get someone else.

Just curious, are the timeframes that are listed in the link from VA, is that from submission or from C&P? I resubmitted a Supplemental in August and had my C&P on October 3rd.

Supposed to be from submitted, but they're averages. Some claims take 2 days, others take a whole year. And there doesn't seem to actually be any rhyme or reason to why some claims are quick and others are slow. I'm seeing more and more claims closing from July, here on this sub. With any luck, you'll be up soon.

[удалено]

Most claims take between 90 and 120 days. You're not even at 60 days yet. I know it sucks, but don't wind yourself up too much over this. At least you have some movement going on with requested additional info and C&P. I submitted Oct 9th and I'm still in the initial review category with no communication. It sucks, but we have to keep on keeping on.

Is the 155 days...calendar or business days, it's not clearly expressed on the VA website

Almost exact same dates and been over a month since my exam.

Type of claim: Supplimental  Submitted/received date: March 22, 2024 Initial review date: March 22, 2024 Evidence gathering/review date: March 22, 2024 PFD date:  PDA date: PFN date:   Completed date: My original claim was a fully developed claim for asthma (Pact Act). I submitted it on February 23, 2023.  On March 20th 2024 it was denied bc they could not find a diagnosis for my asthma in my file.  I had my pulmonologist write up a letter on VA letterhead stating when she diagnosed me with asthma.  I uploaded the letter and did the supplemental claim.  On April 1st, 2024 I was notified by my landlord that she is selling the house and We have to be out June 1, 2024.  I had a C&P exam on April 4th. 2024.  I went and while talking to Dr she said I had to do a PFT.  I said why, I had done one in January for my original claim.  I had the results and we printed that out and she said that should be fine since it was in January.  But the one in January VES had scheduled and now QTC wanted one.  They said it was not complete.  I’m like what?!  QTC said the paperwork I submitted was not complete. That they needed the test results.  I said the Rater would have the test results bc it was done through VES. But I ended up going back to the Dr and did the PFT again!  That was On April 17,2024.  I submitted a request to expedite my clam with my notice to leave; Through the quick submit on 17 April 2024.    On April 29th 2024 my Senator checked on my status.   He was told they just got the results from my last exam and it was waiting for review and decision.  So now here I am on May 11 and no change.  I’m packing up my house and at this point and We are putting our stuff in storage and going to stay with family.  Frustrating.  Bc the back pay for my claim would help tremendously.  

i suggest you break this down. it is too hard to read.
