    I submitted a supplemental on 11 July 2024 for one condition denied back in 2021 and it came back approved on 04 September 2024. Submission to completion just 55 days.

      Since the app doesn’t update supplemental claims, how did you initially find out that it was approved? I had an ACE exam record review for a supplemental on 8/29/2024 for an appeal we submitted on 6/7/2024

      @@300ss5 … gonna go ahead and confess I logged on to the VA site and checked every single day after my C & P exam on August 01, 2024. Part of the reason I did that was because I wanted to know exactly how many days it took. Especially since it was a glaringly obvious error on the part of the initial C & P examiner.

I also have applied for PTSD, COPD (w/years on CPAP machine that was issued by VA) also Sleep Apnea claim. The results keep circling the center roundabout scale. I have Two other private doctors Nexus letters attach to these claims.
    Thanks for all you do for us who are somewhat blind this process. Norm

    Clay, the “Files” tab has a Checkbox that allows you to tell the VA that you have no other files to submit. If your working with a law firm, like I am, it’s interesting to note that if, your lawyer submits an appeal for you, the lawyer can NOT see that checkbox and your appeal could hang here long after you have your C&P exam and submit all your stuff. Only on the recommendation of my attorney, I checked the box, which will now hopefully move my claim along to be reviewed. Something for everyone to watch out for. You’re doing a great job for us! Keep it going!

    lol the only real information on this video that’s useful is the statement nobody knows how long lol using myself as an example trying to add a dependent has been sitting on step one for 3 months. We should be able to go in to the id card facility like the deers office in the military and just add dependents then they do the monetary behind the scenes. It shouldn’t have to sit in the same Que as all the claims for medical decisions.

    I had something strange happen to me. I submitted a Tinnitus claim about two weeks ago and I was prepared for a wait of months. To my surprise, I received a notice from VES for a C&P exam... Awesome (not sure) ... When I went to my appointment the examiner informed me this was for a Traumatic Brain Injury... I did suffer a TBI during service, I didn't know it was even ratable. The problem is I did not submit a claim for TBI and never have. Does the VA just proactively go through our medical history for claims? In my experience, this never happens and I don't know what may have triggered the C&P... Is this a proactive claim? If someone has had this experience I would appreciate any comments. I'm really confused?
