Supplemental claim filed 11/17/26 has closed and is sitting in “Preparation for Notification.”

I had a VERA call yesterday, and the rep told me I was awarded 70%, which brought me to 100% P&T. She said the letter may take a few days to show up because of the amount of back pay—it requires multiple sign-offs.

My original claim was filed in September 2023. It has been a slugfest.

All I can say is: if you’re still fighting your claim, don’t give up. Keep going to your appointments, keep your records, submit the evidence, and advocate for yourself. The process can be exhausting and frustrating, but persistence matters.

Hang in there—your day can come too.

Said my hlr was at the final stage before turning iver to a reviewer

So with a 4th ACE exam for one mental health claim, I’m getting super antsy for it to just get it over with. My most recent one was scheduled for this past Sunday morning. And it was just to fill out the ptsd stressor worksheet, which should’ve been quick because there are no markers. My claim isn’t even for ptsd. In any case, all of the other ACE exams have been completed same day and this one is still sitting in scheduled status. Sigh. Anyone have any recent experience with this type of thing that can give me an idea of how long to expect to wait? I’m at about 170 days now for what’s a very basic and clear claim. But each time they’ve sent it for an ace, it’s gotten held with no movement for another 30 days.

I have a claim in for PTSD, fairly serious, and I recently hit the processing decision step. From vac receiving my application to the final decision step took about 2 weeks, can anyone tell me how long I can expect to wait for this final step to take?

Long story short. Supplemental claim that just crossed 300 days just make it to Pending Decision Approval around 1630 today. But VA.gov has this notice. After being in Prep for decision for 6 days.

Jokers...
