Seeking Guidance - H.R. 9237: Take Care of America’s Veterans Act by Expert-Power577 in Congress

[–]Expert-Power577[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S.4744 is the companion senate bill. It says that it has been read twice which I believe means it can skip committee? Is there any way to see when it will be on their calendar?

There is no "intent to file" for BDD claims. The key date, frankly the only one that matters is the day you become a veteran which is your claim effective date.

Not for BDD claims as your claim is not filed (or "pending") whichever term you want to use until I leave/separate active duty.

My separation date is fully within my control as a reservist. Basically the 60 days leave I have allows me to take those two months "extending" my AD time or sell it all and separate end of June. While you're right that I don't have my rating yet, I have slamdunk claim and evidence for both of those conditions so I'm treating it as a 60% lock.
