I am wondering if it is suppose to change upon receipt of DD-214? It has been "Pending Final Approval" for a long period of time. I called the regional VA office, just to check if all docs have been received on their end, they confirmed. The person I spoke with said the claim could be open until June, this seems long to me, but it was a range estimate.

Also, I went to the VA to enroll after getting my DD-214 to get an ID to use facilities, the lady said I could not claim the service-connection or get an ID until the first claim was complete. She also put me down as a combat veteran (even though its not combat related but was in a combat zone)..will this cause any issues? I did not question it at the time as I figured she knew what she was doing, but now I am wondering if it will cause any issues and should close the claim until the first claim (referred from the PEB) is complete?

Thanks
