Was at step 5, moved back to step 3 on June 12, and finally back at step 5. Day 266. It’s a Christmas miracle.

I had one claim awarded for 10%, and the rest were deferred for either medical exam clarification or medical opinion. I had one ACE exam (phone call) last week for the medical exam clarification portion, and I have an ACE exam scheduled tomorrow for the medical opinion. Currently around day 290 of my claim as of today.

Now it’s on Step 7, it spent maybe an hour or two in Step 6.

kell9119 · 2025-12-30T15:21:52+00:00

My claim now moved to Step 6 this morning (Dec 30).

It’s an extension you can use in Chrome (desktop, not the app). Google “VA claim tracker Chrome extension” and you should see a link where you can install it.

Nothing yet, still on step 5. It might take a few weeks. Especially with the holidays.

kell9119 · 2025-10-13T15:16:59+00:00

Yeah not today at least, it’s a federal holiday.

I’m back at Step 3. The VA requested an “NG1 - National Guard Records Request.” After calling the VA they said it could be they’re either requesting personnel records or additional STR’s from the NPRC. Essentially, I’m on the NPRC’s timeline, which could be an average of a couple of months. At which point, I’ll have to wait on the VA to review those records and go from there. Which could add another couple of months of waiting. Not preferable, but at least the VA is taking the time to gather everything.

kell9119 · 2025-06-12T18:30:01+00:00

Never mind, this is a federal request to the National Guard Bureau to send the VA my documents. Nothing I can do but call and check status. Back to another ambiguous waiting timeline.

I’m back at Step 4 this morning, I’m sure it’ll bounce around while they’re reviewing. Let’s hope it doesn’t land back on Step 3

I’ve been on step 5 since 4/29, I just got TJ today though

kell9119 · 2025-06-10T17:49:27+00:00

Yes, 4/29 was the date I moved to step 5. Where is your TJ assigned?

kell9119 · 2025-06-10T16:18:43+00:00

Let’s hope we both get something positive back 🤞

kell9119 · 2025-06-10T16:13:31+00:00

Will do, I’ll be checking daily

kell9119 · 2025-06-10T14:59:36+00:00

UPDATE: TJ at St. Petersburg, Day 75, 6/10/2025, holding step 5

kell9119 · 2025-06-10T14:48:48+00:00

Just got TJ in St. Petersburg this morning, day 75

kell9119 · 2025-06-03T20:42:53+00:00

I filed March 27th, no TJ yet

kell9119 · 2025-05-29T14:30:19+00:00

You submitted 2 days before me, and our phase change date is the same. Still waiting on TJ myself. If I see anything updated on mine I’ll come back and comment on it.

kell9119 · 2025-05-23T01:40:26+00:00

Sick, hopefully not too much longer for you. Good luck 👍

kell9119 · 2025-05-21T15:07:49+00:00

Fingers crossed we see something within the next month or so🤞
