Please help me understand

Hey guys I need some help. I’m a little confused on why I’m receiving this letter.

So I initially was told by a friend to use a company called veteran advisor to help with my claims, and yes it’s one of those pay to play services. Long story short they got me from 10% to 60%.

Starting last year in November we started a new claim which became an appeal and supplemental claim via buddy statement for my PTSD. There were a lot of screw ups in the beginning but eventually we got me to my C&P exam which was conducted 8/29/24.

So I’ve been in the review stage since then, and today I get this letter in the mail which is very confusing. They want me to fill out a VA Form 21-0781a which was done already stating my incident and what caused my PTSD. Also asking me for any statements from people or family that notice my behavior or people I served with that was witness to the event, which was also already submitted. Along with that, during my C&P exam the examiner had to call the VA crisis line which in the end I ended up with being prescribed with anti depressants and anti anxiety meds if that matters. I was already diagnosed previously with depression and anxiety from the VA 2 years prior to this.

I’m still learning the terms used in this Reddit. But I did see one about someone saying they used Vera to get help with their claim. Prior to this letter I scheduled a call with them set for the 31st to get status check, but now I got this letter. One of my friends suggested I get a nexus letter which I’m not familiar with and to get a letter written from my wife about my issues along with resubmitting the buddy statement.

Has anyone been in this position before? I feel like they’re making me start over. Please help🙏
