I am new to this site and not sure where to go to ask a question. My husband already has a 80% rating with the VA, and they are adding closed ankle fracture with nerve damage to a C&P claim, we are now at the Pending decision approval stage on this.....he has had the MEB process started as of June/July of 2014 and it sat on our main office desk until March 2015 (supposedly), well he called today and come to find out it never was sent off because they are waiting on the DA 7652 from his commander (which is filled out for him) to sign, just hasn't got around to doing it I guess. I am just wandering when this process actually starts does his VA Compensation have anything to do with it? Most blogs I have read on other sites it seems that usually these two process go hand in hand, didn't know if there was any advantage or disadvantage to already be getting VA benefits? (I am probably writing in circles and I apologize, I am just trying to wrap my head around this process)
