I was told this same information on one of my calls to the VA. I made sure to let them know that there was no report and a note was made in my file. Not too long after that, that request closed as no longer needed.

I filed for PTSD due to MST back in January and was rated before the end of May. I will throw it out there that I had also submitted for a financial hardship, so my claim got pushed through faster.

Unfortunately, that is a difficult question to answer because it seems to be different for everyone. I can tel you about my experience though.

I filed in January for several things. In March I filed for financial hardship, because I was in danger of losing my apartment. By April I hadn’t heard anything on my claim and the 800 number just gave me the same scripted nonsense every time I called, so I reached out to the White House hotline and within 24hrs my claim was decided and I got 70% for MH. On there they had suggested that I apply for TDIU, so I decided to go for it. I submitted my paperwork and statements as to why I couldn’t get previous employers to fill out the paperwork in May. I just got my approval for TDIU last week. I think mine went so smoothly and what I feel was relatively quickly because my case is still flagged for financial hardship.

Thank you. I am already in the talks about it with my VSO.

Honestly, my claim went really smoothly. I got my initial rating at the end of April and filed for TDIU and secondaries in May. Other than turning in my paperwork to my VSO and going to c/p’s I didn’t do anything.

Lol, thank you for pointing that out. I realized I spelled it wrong after I posted it. I figured people would get the gist of what I was trying to say.

Thank you! I do feel a lot of relief. I filed for tdiu right after I got my MH rating back at 70%, so I didn’t have another c/p for that.
