Update to Missing Claim

Update to: https://www.reddit.com/r/VeteransBenefits/s/KGP0gNNo5I.

So, I waited. I listened to the advice a few people gave me.

It's still there they said.

Wrong.

It'll update sometime today.

Wrong.

It's missing completely. No decision letter as of minutes ago when I called. No status on the claim in their records. They had to dig to find a trace of it. I'll say it loud and clear for those still confused.

MY CLAIM IS GONE. NOT ATTACHED. NOT UPDATING. G-O-N-E GONE!

Take this as a warning fellow veterans. If you know something is up, don't get gaslit by all the "Just be patient (i.e. it's nothing, you're just being impatient)" rhetoric so many here force on you.

Push back, set up that VERA call IMMEDIATELY, and investigate. Don't just "trust" the system. We all know it's there to screw us over. We feel it every step of the way: C&P exams with the worst companies, and the VBA doing little to nothing to fix it; waiting weeks to months for a PCP appointment at the VA; getting yanked and tugged when all you want is to be heard by your doctor's; getting bs denials and waiting months, years, to get what YOU WERE PROMISED.

We know when we're being screwed. When you hear someone say that you just gotta wait for them to spit on it and you won't feel it as much, don't listen.

Fight. The hell. Back.

We're god damn veterans; remember what that means? It's not letting ourselves be victims by sitting and taking it. It's seeing a problem and being a god damn solution.

And to those who wanna keep waiting I'll venmo you some cash for lube.
