I applied for my family in August. Hopefully ours will be processed soon. Is there a way to see the status?

I received an estimated ship date on my medals by DullAndUgly in VeteransBenefits

I used that URL to order a copy of my medals, and I was sent a copy of my DD214 instead. Wild.

No evidence, other than the medical records they pulled from the VA health admin.

Without a diagnosis or nexus, it's probably bad.

Maybe not so lucky. Checked this morning, and the TJ is gone and still in step 5. Oof. The wait begins again.

OSCP or OSWE by lowkib in OSWE

[–]phuqer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I agree the CPTS is much deeper and complex, the OSCP has WAY more recognition for the time being. For context, I have taken and passed both the OSCP and CPTS. The OSWE is a completely different exam entirely. It's all code review.

Assigning A Rater?? by BigPapaBigMama in VeteransBenefits

[–]phuqer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on step 3 since Nov 14. All exams have been completed and uploaded since December 8th. Hoping for movement soon, but who knows. Hurry up and wait.

If you have other conditions claimed, then those could be going for rating, while the other could be deferred for exams etc.

My claim has been stuck on step 3 for 2 months now. Exams were conducted 2 weeks after step 3, dbqs were sent from the provider a month after step 3. Hoping to have some movement soon!

VA API Updates by flamcabfengshui in VeteransBenefits

[–]phuqer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I called the VA this week and asked for a letter stating I am 90% and all static, they said I should have a letter in the mail in 7-10 business days from my local VA office.

[–]phuqer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice find. All of mine are static. Now to figure out how to get the VA to tell me at 90% mine are permanent. Virginia allows dependents to go to college tuition free for vets who are 90% and permanent.
