Letter 3 arrives–Azeejensmom’s saga to SC

These are part of the lost year. I’d get out of the hospital only to succumb to Peritonitis again… and again… and again… all the way through Thanksgiving. I came home o/a the first of December 09 but went back in 3/15/10. This disease sucks.

Geeeeez……..How many of these “we are still processing your claim” letters does a person receive before the claim is processed? Thought they had 90 days to adjudicate an TDIU claim. In fine print, on top of the App for Increased Comp, it does state that by completing this form, you are claiming total disability. Sure hope this doesn’t drag on for another 6 years. Arghghghgh!!!!!!!

90 days is the law. 90 days in the Hole. Usually the last 30 days involves heavy binocular usage. I am in the same Hole. March 9 will equal 90 days. We will await your good news! Good Luck. Take two capsules (left) and call when it arrives.

When does the 90 day count start?It will be interesting to see which date they apply the TDIU to, the date he actually began receiving SSD due to 100% or, the date they received the App for the TDIU. Reading the CFR’s, it could be either. First, we need the hen to lay the egg.

Well, no letter arrived this month -and, today we find out that my husband’s TDIU claim file is “closed” decided and needed 3 signatures. The decision is in the US Mail, or so they say.Figure they need 3 signatures so #3 can make sure #2 made sure #1 did their job correctly. Curiosity has got the kitty….do you think that’s why 3 signatures were needed? We’re keeping a positive attitude about the whole process, hoping that 70% went to 100% with some retro in there. In the meantime, we await the BVA to do their thing and get the issues on remand answered and dealt with. We have done our part. Rep thought once the 2 files were “joined” the appeal may start moving along (appeal is on HepC and related issues). I can say one thing for certain, if there is anyone who needs a helping hand on a claim, I’ll be there. You can count on that. Lori 🙂 Thoughts are welcome.
