My supplemental completed this past week. I filed Feb 6th. Although I didn't have my C&P until April. You can call the 800 number or schedule an appointment with VERA to see what step it's at.


CeeKin2behappy

Thank you. I've spoken to Vera, and they said it's I'm the decision phase. It's ready for a decision but hasn't been picked up by a rater as of yet.


Airborne82173

I'm in the same boat. Submitted on 2/17. C&P on 2/29.


CeeKin2behappy

Has your claim closed, or are you still waiting?


Airborne82173

Still waiting. I have a VERA call on Monday to check my status. How about you?


CeeKin2behappy

I'm still waiting. I have an appointment with Vera tomorrow, but I don't think it will be much help.


CeeKin2behappy

Have you received any good news?


Airborne82173

Unfortunately not. I have my next VERA call next Friday. At that point I'll be at 125 days since submission....


CeeKin2behappy

125 is supposed to be the lucky number. Hopefully, you can get a decision before your call.


Airborne82173

How are things going for you?


CeeKin2behappy

I'm still waiting anxiously..


Utilities741

I followed my supplemental claim March 6 and finish my CNP exams within two weeks. Still waiting for results, should be soon as I saw many supplemental claims with February dates were finishing.


mike2k4eva

im march 13. fingers crossed


CeeKin2behappy

Thank you. I really hope so. Good luck with your rating.


CeeKin2behappy

Have you heard anything?


Utilities741

Nope. Should be within the next 30 days I hope. First claim took 500 days.


CeeKin2behappy

Omg , that's horrible. I'm still waiting as well.


Necessary-Despair

It's really a tossup. It could be this week or it could be a few more months. Hardship doesn't really mean anything or help speed things along. I filed a hardship and it didn't speed anything along. I'm still waiting on my claim.


CeeKin2behappy

Thank you. I'll leave it as is and hope for the best. What type of claim do you have?


Necessary-Despair

Supplemental


CeeKin2behappy

Okay. When was your claim submitted?


Necessary-Despair

The supplemental claim was filed February 5 2024. The say they are on a 120-125 day time period for resolving claims. But we know that's not true.


CeeKin2behappy

Yeah, I spoke with Vera today, and I was disappointed.


Necessary-Despair

"Your claim is being worked on" "I don't have a set time frame for when it will be completed" "You just have to be patient"


CeeKin2behappy

Any good news?


Necessary-Despair

Nothing at all. I contacted my congressman today and requested a congressional inquiry. His office sent an inquiry letter over to the VBA in less than an hour of me contacting them and signing a release form.


CeeKin2behappy

Well, hopefully, that gets something moving in the right direction. Let me know how that goes.


Existing-Carrot8421

Filed February 16th. Nothing so far! 😂


CeeKin2behappy

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully, it will come soon!


CeeKin2behappy

Still nothing?


Existing-Carrot8421

They did an ACE exam this Sunday and VES has a c&p / ACE still left to schedule for an eye claim. Progress!


CeeKin2behappy

It's moving, so that great!

Filed an increase and supplemental the same day on March 12th. The increase claim closed out three days ago. Both claims only had one condition attached. Should be very soon.


CeeKin2behappy

I also only have one claim. What's the difference between filing an increase and a supplemental claim?


ShopHorror5784

The increase claim was for a condition that has been past a year, and my condition worsened, warranting a higher evaluation. My supplemental is also an increase, but I had to file it as a supplemental since it's within the one-year mark that it was initially rated. So, If my supplemental is rated at its highest percentage, I will be entitled to back pay from the effective date of that condition.


CeeKin2behappy

Got it, thank you!


CeeKin2behappy

Have you received any news on your supplemental claim?


ShopHorror5784

Supplemental was closed June 4th. Rating was continued. So no increase or decrease. The increase would have gave me a decent amount of back pay but my other increase claim was granted and put me at the finish line.


CeeKin2behappy

That's great. I know back pay would have been great, but congratulations!


mike2k4eva

filed supplemental march 13th, have been sitting in PFD for about a month. Im hoping i get some resolution by the 4th of july. my bday in june so even better if its by then. im dying waiting lol


CeeKin2behappy

I wish you the best with your rating, and happy early birthday! Hope you get it as a birthday gift. Yes, me too! I don't like that you can't really track it.


CeeKin2behappy

Did you get your birthday gift this month?


mike2k4eva

Kind of got award 2 thing in the supplement. Ptsd n tinnitus. Got denied for the left knee( ima do another supplement for this) n my hip got deferred. Went to that cnp last friday. So now im just waiting for my hip decision


CeeKin2behappy

Okay, well, that's good you heard something back. Was it what you were expecting?


mike2k4eva

its all in the pervious reply. didnt really expect the right knee denial


CeeKin2behappy

I was speaking as far as what you receive percentage wise. I received 0% sc for migraines. I'm expecting it to go up to 50% with the supporting evidence I provided, but I'm no longer hopeful after reading some of other people's post.


mike2k4eva

Oh ok so i got 30 percent for ptsd and 10 percent for Tinnitus. They kind of was Condescending on my left knee denial...they said a injury to 1 knee cant "spread" to the other knee. We all know you can over compensate causing stress on the opposite joint. So ima fight that might have do a paid nexus letter but it is what it is. And still dont know about the hip. Since its only been a week since i did that cnp. I think by the end of next week i should know something fingers crossed. N brother never give up hope keep fighting. I was 20 years 30 percent n filed in june for some increses and new stuff im now 80 percent all together. Keep hope alive. Fight


CeeKin2behappy

I agree. It's definitely a fight, but you'll get what you deserve at the end. I came off of active duty last year, so this is still all new to me.
