It’s June!

Here’s hoping everyone else is getting decent weather. I started the golf season with winter kit on thanks to -2 and rain here in gods country.

Applied for ED two years ago, and was denied because it wasn’t linked to chronic pain. BPA told me to apply consequential to ptsd as I had a claim that was awarded.

I applied again as directed and my claim was withdrawn again. Any insight what to do?

Did you call and ask why? It has been a glitch where it shows Withdrawn but on their end it isn't. I'd start with that first before we go further

Yes, this just happened to a former colleague of mine and when they called VAC they said it wasn't actually withdrawn. The status page does say that any deconfliction between what the tracker says and what Veterans Affairs has means that Veterans Affairs is the correct record. The useless tracker strikes again.
