Hello, I was curious as to if anyone knows how to expedite a disability c&p claim when your health is at risk? I am currently enrolled in CH31 Voc Rehab and my claim is for PTSD with IU (Individual Unemployability). Since the diagnosis of PTSD its becoming more difficult to keep up with school and attend classes and per my CH31 contract I must continue on with school until this clam goes through.

You should be able to receive treatment without the claim being complete. Contact your local VA health facility and they will probably get you in. The nice thing about being treated by the VA is less transference of records between private and VA.
Remember, take care of yourself. Do not put off care waiting for a claim to come through.

There are two ways of doing expedited claims, and you don't want the second one.
The first is to do a fully developed claim - submit all supporting documentation with your claim, so the VA does not need to gather any evidence. This greatly speeds up the process.
The second is if you are facing a terminal illness...
Unfortunately, if you've already filed your claim, there isn't much you can do through the VA Benefits Administration.
But as others have noted, are you getting help for your PTSD? You can get free help through the Soldier's Project http://www.thesoldiersproject.org and Sponsor a Vet Life ( COL Mikel J. Burroughs )
