I am at 267 fays of waiting on my initial VA disability claim. I had my PTSD MST exam April 13th at Optum Serve. On the 14th I have 11 more exams all right in a row. My PTSD MST exam was uploaded right away to the VA. Someone at the VSO office told me the exam came back favorable. Problem is, the other 11 exams are still at Optum Serve and they said it could take a couple more weeks. So I called the 1-800 VA number and asked them to expediate my PTSD MSD claim and wave my consolidated claim review. Basically I want them to move on, and rate my PTSD MST claimed and defer the others. Has anyone else ever done this, waved the consolidated claim review? If so, did the claim move along faster?

This month April 13th 2026, I had my virtual exam for PTSD/MST with Optum Serve. The next day I had 11 exams back to back at Optum Serve as well. A VSO told me over the phone that the medical opinion from my PTSD/MST was in my favor. More than 50% likely, hopefully connecting me to service. I also called Optum Serve and they told me the other 11 DBQs were still processing? The VSO told me that all of the DBQs had been uploaded, contrary to what Optum said? Now the VSOs are saying they can not give me any information at all and that I should not have been told about my PTSD claim. I asked the VSO why, and they said the VA rater can still change it to unfavorable? I called Vera Yesterday and they said I should move to step 4 by Friday. Friday came and gone, still waiting. How long do you think it will take to get a rating? And why does one person say they are uploaded and one person say they are processing? So confusing....I am as of today on day 247 of waiting. Also, I was told, and have read, that VSOs can tell us about what the DBQ says. Just can not give them to us? Why can't I see the DBQs on my VA online account? I can see a few DBQs, but AI said they are only exrays? Thoughts and insights needed. Thank you!
