HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted February 5, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 5, 2009 If the C and P is done and everything is in, It sould be as little as 3 weeks to 1 month. I have also seen them take several months after the Exam. If you have a good VSO, they are usually the first ones to find out. The see it before it leaves the Regional office. So basically there is no definate answer as each claim is different. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 deyjason, Welcome to hadit. How long ago were you separated from service ? Is this an original claim ? My guess is 1 to 18 months. jmho, carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meddac Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Not sure which Regional Office you are dealing with, but your answers on here will vary greatly for that question. I know that in the RO where I work that our raters are scraping for claims that are "ready to rate". The decisions on smaller claims (1-3 issues) are usually done the day they hit the board. Larger claims (4+ issues) are taking a bit longer, but they are still not taking much more than a few days to a week to get a decision. That is not always the case, however. It will pick up to the point that the raters take all of 60 days to render a decision. There have been a couple of new "pilot programs" that have recently been dropped on some of us or all of us developing cases (diagnostic code criteria and claimant checklists) that have eaten away at our time significantly in getting a case to the board. Right now I am working "new" claims from Mid-December... I do have some older claims, but the number of those is about 25 right now, and they are claims "in progress". My overall number of claims right now is around 60 that are "new". After the rating board decides your claim the representatives (VSO's) take a look at it to concur the decision. That can take up to a week or more. The claim then has to be promulgated, and the award is done (if any). I worked an award last Wednesday, checked up on it today, and the money had already been sent out vis Direct Deposit. The veteran also has a brand new claim in as of Monday. That also slows things down a bit as I had just talked to him on the phone last Wednesday when I did his award. He was ecstatic about it ($14, 000+ retro and an increase from 30 to 80 percent). Times will vary...I hope you are able to find out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyjason Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks for all the feedback. My claim is with the Waco Regional office. Hopefully they are not too backlogged and I will have a decision soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder cowgirl Posted February 5, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 5, 2009 Question, regards 'promulgate', just what does that mean? My rating was rated in December, dfas contacted and is now at VARO being 'promulgated'. I suspect it won't be long, just don't have a clear idea. Thanks for posting and nice to meet ya!. Cg'up2009!
