Posting here to vent and maybe get some info on what the gently caress is going on. I separated out of the Marine Corps with Chronic Lymph-edema which essentially means I can't run basically at all and any physical exertion beyond the most basic things causes my foot to balloon up 3-4x its normal size. I used the Quick Start program and applied for my benefits. I foolishly waited until a year after my last physical/doctor appointment and when I turned in my records for review to call the VA. A. My benefits were supposed to kick in right after my EAS date 22 March. Wish I knew that beforehand  B. They didn't even send my goddamn medical records to get reviewed until AFTER I called them in the beginning of May. Should I just keep calling the VA constantly and harass them to get this poo poo done because apparently I dropped off the grid for 14 months for no loving reason and I'd rather not have it happen again. Or is it safe to just wait now until I get piece of mail saying that I'm receiving X% of disability? How long from this point should I have to wait to get info on my claim?

So I just got a call from the VA office I filed my quick-start claim from almost 2 years ago and they just told me they lost my actual claim paper work (again) and need me to fax a copy of the one they gave me. Now I'm almost 100% positive they didn't even give me a copy of my claim paperwork, although they still have my med records and I'm in the computer system. I've kept every thing from TAPS onward in a filing cabinet. So if I can't conjure this poo poo out of ether what the hell is going to happen to my already overdue claim?

t_bright posted:yea they told me they couldn't do anything. I'm pretty sure the VA is just testing to see how long it will take before I break. I mean. It's been 13 months since I filed. And my claim is still on the first phase. Well apparently they sent my claim in finally because I just got a call from the people physically handling my Quick-Start process and I'm basically getting treated like a king with them hand delivering it everywhere and getting a call every time it changes hands. Only downside is I have to drive 50 loving miles to tampa to get another medical examination. Again. If you haven't called them do so. They actually cancelled my claim initially because where I turned my paperwork in they didn't bother to actually send it out. I called literally every 2 weeks for 6 months before I got this far. Hopefully my rating doesn't take too long. Bolow fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Jan 15, 2012 |
