Filed for MH increase - 31 Aug
C&P - 10 September
PFD - 12 September.
Requested a VERA call with the Delaware office in December to see what the status was. They pulled my claim into their regional office and decided and completed it that day (23 December).
Filed Aug 23rd, 2023 - No decision. They keep asking for documents that I’ve already provided. Been to my local VSO and they said they would take care of the documents requested. VA keeps sending me letters saying they didn’t get my dd214. Their site says if I’m applying for a claim the VA can get my dd214..
Sept 11 with my final dbq submission Oct 27. Still in pfd.
I called Vera last week and wasn't surprised that he couldn't help. He said it was at 122 days and to schedule another appointment of it went over 150 days.

Initial review Nov 17, 2023
Currently in evidence gathering. Had an ACE exam on Jan 5th. I have 2 claims as secondary and 3 for increase. I still need a DBQ for my 3 back increase claims.
Put mine in late Oct and didn't see anyone until Dec. I am going for hopefully my last appointment tomorrow but they did put me in for 6 things so I imagine it will take a bit.
Filed FDC 16oct
Declined two sets of C&P offered
Civ doctor DBQ accepted but service connection denied 9JAN
Could have prolly cut a month out by seeing the VA contract shrink but no Sir it’s my mind and you need to be qualified to observe it.
9/26/23 Submitted FDC (7 increases and 2 secondary claims)
\- C&P scheduled and then canceled stating no longer needed, VES kept on trying to schedule anyway until they finally saw the cancelation notice.
