AppealingMarine

Hey all, I was notified on December 1st 2015 of my upgrade to my claim by the DAV. I have been searching the internet for a reasonable timeline and it seems most posts will receive their official VA letter and retro within a month of the DAV unofficial letter. Is this true? I was looking to see what other people have had to wait for a timeline especially with the holidays recently. Also I was wondering what I should check for first to see if my claim is done. On ebenefits, nothing has moved since 2014 (even though my exam was 2015). Should I keep checking that site or my bank account? I know this seems anxious but I have been in this process for over 5 years now and just want it over with.

Okay, so you received your percentage decision then? I am just wondering if the "remand" is the final step in this case and I haven't heard about anything else. I wish I could contact someone just so I know that if I need to do anything else, they can let me know. The 1000 number doesn't tell me anyting. I heard the average was around 3-4 months after the hearing, but I am still waiting since mine was in May 2015. Thanks again, Semper Fi

Yes I did have another CP exam that was not at a medial center but a medical office in Nashville. Thanks for telling me about the number and I will call that tomorrow morning. I was thinking it should be time soon for my status since it has been 5 years.

Hey all, I recently found this site and I have searched everywhere on these questions (which may have been posed, but I could not find it). I am a OIF Infantry Marine veteran that has been in the appeal process for 5 years now and I had my appeal appointment to get checked out again this past summer. My question was basically what is the average timelime after the "recheck" appointment to get some sort of decision back? I have called the VA benefits customer service numerous times in the past 4 months and my appeal has been stuck at my regional office since. My ebenefits says this "Your appeal has been sent back for further development by the Board to the Appeals Management Center or to the office that made the original decision on your case." with the status of "remanded appeal". What does this all mean? Am I close to seeing my decision? I am just getting a little nervous about my financial situation since I have a newborn. My wife and I are praying this could help us out. Thank you for answering this. I did post this in Ebenefits question, but I am unsure if it was the right area.
