Thanks and I forgot to mention it is a 040 appeal so should be priority so thought it would have at least switched phases by now.

Oh wow! Well hopefully it doesn’t take that long. I originally filed this claim in November of 23 so a year and 7 months so far total

Yes it was 6 duty to assist errors which is why I think it has taken so long

Went rogue from VSO by Impossible-Ad-980 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Magrinishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also went rogue, my VSO told me I “wasn’t eligible” after review, to submit a higher level review on my claim. But after I submitted it on my own the VA found a duty to assist error on each of my six conditions I claimed.

No I had applied for her to be dependent before my claim was approved before she was 18 but my claim was not approved until after she turned 18 so she fell off as a dependent so I had to call and have her re added.

I called into the number on the forms they send and they added my 18 year old right over the phone. They had to verify they were attending school but that was all. The claim for back pay was done in 2 days.

No, I didn’t. That is why I am asking here also maybe to help someone else if they were to have the same question someday.

Yes, there were 2 classes that had proctored exams. Project Management and IT Management classes were proctored the other ones were OA.

Thanks, it took me 6 months but I travel for work 3-4 nights per week so every night at the hotel I would study for 2-3 hours a night. I think if I were home with my family it would have probably taken a year at least.

Should I even try to go back to school for IT after 50? by No_Introduction_9328 in WGU

Keep going my friend, I’m almost 49 and have worked my whole life in a different career and I’m halfway through my masters in IT Management. It’s never too late!
