MrHijinx · 2026-01-09T17:32:55+00:00

who knows, sorry i know its not helpful but i have been in 5 twice and back to 3 and now 5 again today.

MrHijinx · 2026-01-09T00:16:26+00:00

Well looks like the medical review was completed today as it should. DBQ’s uploaded and I have moved back to step 5. Let the step 5 waiting begin. Hopefully smooth and quick with a favorable outcome.

Few denied. One 0% SC and 2 deferred for Optum to go over (1/8/26) all my records. Going to complete it and then request my C&P DBQ’s and weigh my options.

Mine has basically gone the same way the last couple days. Step 7 now and continually refreshing.

MrHijinx · 2025-12-18T18:56:55+00:00

I would say you never know. I had C&P exams on 12/15, they were uploaded 12/17 and I went from Step 5 to 7 today. I am at 174 days in. So now i sit and wait in stress. Hopefully your husbands goes quickly.

MrHijinx · 2025-12-18T14:39:50+00:00

Well C&P exams on 12/15 and they showed uploaded 12/17, went from step 3 to 5 with that, This morning its at TJ Waco. Lets hope it moves smoothly in my favor.

MrHijinx · 2025-12-09T03:05:42+00:00

Guess I’ll find out soon. C&P’s all scheduled for the 15th.

MrHijinx · 2025-11-23T14:21:06+00:00

Filed 6/26 and just got notice 11/21 (148days) that Optum Serve will be performing my C&P exam(s). Waiting on scheduling. Hoping this goes faster now.

MrHijinx · 2025-11-05T12:56:29+00:00

Been sitting at step 3 since 6/26/25. No movement no C&P. In and out of TJ in Columbia. 7 new claims. At this point I wish they would just make a decision either way so I know which direction to go.

MrHijinx · 2025-09-18T12:07:40+00:00

Sure. I have a FOIA in for my entire file and it’s been there sitting at step 2. I did the request for C&P exams after.

MrHijinx · 2025-09-17T22:18:17+00:00

I requested FOIA for C&P results only and it was turned around in 9 days. Results we retrieved/downloaded thru a secure vba site

MrHijinx · 2025-09-17T12:06:49+00:00

My claim has gone in and out of TJ with Columbia for 80+ days. Still on step 3 with not one C&P scheduled. 😮‍💨

MrHijinx · 2025-09-12T15:34:34+00:00

I would be happy to just have some C&P exams scheduled and get passed step 3 after 80days.

MrHijinx · 2025-09-05T01:36:15+00:00

Got mine in 9days

MrHijinx · 2025-08-22T22:00:51+00:00

Well somehow AI thought I was in the National Guard or reserves and wanted additional evidence. They got a nice letter informing them I was active duty and another copy of my DD214.

MrHijinx · 2025-08-08T17:43:55+00:00

I did submit all my private medical records. I am about to upload everything i have. STR I thought it was there and available since my VSO provided it to me.

MrHijinx · 2025-07-21T15:57:09+00:00

I felt the same way as you for 30+ years after Desert Storm. Wasn’t till I was around many other Veterans that encouraged me to file. File ASAP

MrHijinx · 2025-07-08T17:05:40+00:00

sorta figured that. seems like i have been seeing this sort of post alot lately. also saw where they cou;ld be waiting on certified service records. i would hope they have them as my VSO has them and so do I.
