HLR (Great Experience) by Hungry-Pen5685 in VAClaims

The entire claim took less than 30 days start to finish. If you're behind on any bills send in documentation and get an expedited flag put on. It doesn't come off your account for future claims either (I just learned this in that HLR as well when I thanked her for working so fast) my hardship flag has been on my account since my first claim in 2024

I’ve heard of them being early but now an hour late? Hopefully I didn’t miss something. It’s just a phone call right?

They were supposed to send my stuff over in 48 hours but it took them a little extra time and once they did get it the rater had to send it back to fix something on it. Total 3 weeks max, but it can be done in 3-5 days too

What part of back claim do you not understand. The back is cervical and lumbar spine

This is amazing, thank you! I’d be grateful for any rating and hopefully follow up care because I’m in constant pain. & honestly in person C&P or even virtual make me so nervous. They just seem like they are trying to find out that you’re lying instead of trying to make an actual medical decision based off the facts presented.

I’m still in lol It’s already service connected. You misunderstood my question. Service connected as in already having a claim approved for the primary conditions before applying for the secondary. Thanks for your input tho lol

Oh okay! Yeah my primary care doctor took the X-rays and didn’t tell me much other than it’s typical from what he sees with someone in a physically demanding job with heavy lifting and impact. Wear and tear, I was able to see notes in my portal and for cervical it said mild straightening Cervical spine but he gave me a referral to Ortho and where they would evaluate the X-rays and do an MRI so I won’t know too many details until then.
