u/Technical-Ad-524

I have posted a few times in here over the course of my claim. I’m at 142 days and i understand that every claim is different and that it can be a grueling process.

However… I submitted this claim and have been very proactive with making sure all of my evidence was in order. Nexus letter, buddy statements, civilian records, personal tracking of headaches, etc.

My claim didn’t move for 83 days and sat in Step 2. Optum finally called me and scheduled all of my exams for 1 week. Took off of work, drove all over the state and knocked them all out.

Claim didn’t move for another 30 days. Then I randomly get on the app to check and it’s on Step 7 for a full day.

I check back 2 days ago, and I’m back to Step 5 with no explanation or anything. It hasn’t moved since.

Is this normal? I’m assuming it is. Is there a timeline from someone else that recently experienced this?

I’m just ranting but some guidance would be appreciated.

All -

I am 24 years old. I have served in the national guard for 7 years. I have a combat deployment, where I was an operations lead and was accountable for $2 million worth of equipment, along with my soldiers.

I have a BS in business and an MBA.

I recently received my PMP. I also have a certifications as a Product Owner, and I am a Certified Scrum Master.

(The army paid for my certs so I went ahead and took them)

I am currently working as an assistant project manager, making around 70k.
I am happy with my job and my current salary.

I am wondering what my next steps are. What am I looking at in terms of a salary jump once I get some real experience? I just want to align my expectations with real world.

Any help/advice is appreciated.

I took a boot camp 2 weeks ago and scheduled my exam for June 5 ( I know…)

my boss is requiring me to take the exam. I used PMTraining and have been completing the practice exams. I took 12 exams and my recent scores have all been between 65-76%.

I took the last exam, supposedly the hardest and got a 72%.

I feel that I understand the PMI mindset and know a fair bit about Agile and its variations.

Am I ready?

I am 79 days into a VA claim and I haven’t heard a peep out of the VA. My claim has been sitting in Stage 3 since 17 February. I was expecting to hear something about scheduling an exam.

Anybody else experiencing/experienced this?
