Being deferred on a VA claim should you take that as good or bad news? Are the chance greater for approval or less ?

There is a possibility that there is a need for a more thorough look see. They are just trying to make sure that they are doing the right thing for the veteran.

I got a deferred on a documented lower back and cervical spine claim , I have the original Air Force injury reports . Does that mean the claims are over, they are still working on them? Do I need to appeal the deferment? Anyone know the process to the deferment?

LTC (Join to see) - I also got a " No service connection" for hearing, which I thought was laughable since I've worked on F-15's for 33 years. Reading, I think I may have sent too many audio results in and inundated the rater. I'm going through and appeal, sending my original, the Air Force ones from way back when the state I already had hearing loss and my most current "End of Service" audiogram. I'm at a loss for a none rating....I expected a 0 rating but not a non-rating.

Think of a deferred rating decision as meaning a claim needs more evidence while a confirmed and continued rating decision means a claim needs different evidence.

it really means that they are unable or unwilling to render a decision with the information that they now have.it can later be approved or denied as they get the info
