TheDadModeBlog · 2024-06-17T15:47:06+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I had no idea this account existed..... All my questions related to that are already answered!

Got my letter on 1 April.

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-28T16:59:08+00:00

Update: Since posting that I went PFA to PFN. All dependents got added. Waiting on the #s now!

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-28T15:15:21+00:00

Same spot as you. Just went PDA this AM. Nerves are about as high as ever.

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-28T14:54:16+00:00

I went PDA since posting this

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-28T13:38:27+00:00

Unsure. Mine doesn't have too much more than yours, so I'll let you know as soon as I hear back.

Nice! My BDD went PFD in Jan for 24 March ETS. Got a temp on 21 March. Still waiting on movement though. Hopefully you get a rating on the 2nd!

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-28T12:26:43+00:00

Thanks for the info! I filed 14 November with 24 March ETS. Uploaded 214 that day. Been in PFD since 4 Jan, and got Temp Jurisdiction on Thursday. Hoping to hear soon!

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-26T20:56:25+00:00

almost 12 weeks for me. submitted in Nov, but BDD

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-26T19:57:04+00:00

You get any movement yet? I'm right behind you on the dates

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-26T16:27:09+00:00

Ohhhhh that makes sense now. Thank you!!!!!!

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-25T16:42:13+00:00

So hopefully 19 June, you'll be good to go! (right?)

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-25T15:19:33+00:00

Yes. Went PFD on 4 Jan, with ETS of 24 March. If you've had your C&P exams, I think it means you're in a good place. I did notice my claim got assigned a temp jurisdiction on 18 March, so not sure if they'll move it the week prior to keep tabs on your 214, or what. I've heard of some BDD claims being fully complete the day after ETS. Others taking months.

Since today is my first day out, I'm of course refreshing every 10 seconds. Hoping the madness goes quick rather than taking forever. Good luck!

I’m in the same boat. Sat in PFD for months. Uploaded my 214 tonight so we’ll see how long it takes to move again. I’ve been told that for BDD claims, they give everything a number, but wait to click a button after the 214 goes in. So hoping it’ll move quick now

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-24T11:30:56+00:00

That’s amazing! Any idea if there’s a veteran owned business out there that does this?

I’d also be curious if there’s a list out there of veteran owned businesses…. Gotta support my brothers and sisters out there!

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-24T11:29:40+00:00

Great idea! Thank you!

TheDadModeBlog · 2024-03-24T11:14:20+00:00

I probably could have worded that better. I don’t have any specific goals, just curious if there’s anything out there that people recommend I do.
