Good evening everbody,

I am taking part in the "BDD" program, which I started last August of 2021 (submitted), and am still in the evidence and gathering phase. I separated the end of January and obviously didn't get my rating yet because VES hadn't completed my exams, now I'm just waiting for them to send in my exam results (as of 15 June 2022). I want to try and submit a new claim for M.H but I'm worried that this will remove my BDD status, which at this point does it even matter? And also that it'll delay the claim as a whole and I'll be in the queue for another year on my initial BDD claim...

Has anybody ever had a bdd claim take this long? Going on almost a year lol, hoping that it's done soon. I've called VES and the person on the phone said they'd put in an expedited request to have it sent to the V.A since it was still at the final stage before submission to the V.A. Hoping that once the V.A receives the results from VES that it's a quick process..
