I made application under the PACT Act using the VFW's VOS at the VA hospital in Kansas City on June 1st 2023. Since then I see some status reports via the online portal. Mostly code numbers that don't mean anything to me. My VFW VOS isn't replying to emails and the app seems to be stalled.

I know a year and a month isn't long compared to the long wait many of you have had. I do have one question.

I have not been contacted to report for any screening exams. Is that always a part of a VA claim - being examined by one of their contract examination clinics? They have my records from the VA physicals and an outside provider but no requests for specifc exams for the claim.

The claims are for Type II diabetes and high blood pressure - both covered under the PACT act.
