Sorry for the typos earlier! Soooo I submitted an IRIS request, and I talked to my VSO whom sounded like he was in a hurry. VSO said they did get info on my claim dated the 4th (Peggy was right abt that), but he couldn't get it open while i was on the phone with him because someone else was in it at the same time? He said he thinks it was 20% but he stopped short of saying he was positive on that. The Bbe I got yesterday was my "clinic" packet and he said to wait a few more days for another letter. If 20% is my rating, I'll look at it as a blessing that I received anything, but I was truly hoping for 30% with the chronic shoulder issues and my scarring. :( If ebennies is still reading as pending decision approval (back from prep for notification) is it possible they are still deciding something? I know I need to just wait like you guys said to, but its so hard :/. I need a time out....
