Its more than terrible how jacked up the system is and truly feel like how can it ever be fixed at this point. The 4-6 months is a way for them to cover the "125 days" its supposed to take. Prayers to your case I hope they speed it up 14 years is madness. I'm to the point where I'm just tired of the VA i don't even want anything to do with them after they give me my award. 

BVA Grant- 8/15/18
VARO Rating Decision- 8/27/18
Ebenefits Updated-11/11/18
Still waiting on the letter but the RO said I should receive it soon days/week maybe definitely before Dec 1st disability payment since Ebenefits already reflects the new rating so its safe to assume the letter is being sent as well as processing of the retro payment. 

The average time as told by the BVA for appeals to be processed is 4-6 months depending on the backlog. Depending on the given caseload at the RO where you claim is they could send it to another VARO for processing. Depending on how much back pay you are entitled to there will be a pay audit conducted which in some cases if you retro is over 25k will require 3 signatures which also take some time. The BVA grant to RO rating decision can be a while depending on the complexity of the claim but overall the BVA says the average time is 4-6 months. 
 
My situation was s full grant for one service-connected claim  so it wasn't as difficult to process

Congrats. Hopefully not long. Mine took about 90 days but could be possible it went so fast because I had a buddy who worked at VBA who made my case ready for decision a week after the BVA grant showed in their system. I’ve heard the average is 4-6 months.

Greetings,
just wanted to update the group on my status, since 11/11 (Veteran's Day) my Ebenefits shows the updated claim for service-connection for PTSD. My appeal is now finalized and awaiting the letter along with retro pay. This is the very last step in the entire process and can honestly say the relief of not having to constantly check Ebenefits or call the VA is like a huge weight off of my shoulders. To all of you still waiting, be strong and hang in there the end is near and to those just getting started fight for what you deserve and don't give up.

Tried that and it takes 21 days for the inquiry to be answered by the VBA and I got the response which was vague and generic stating the average time for BVA appeals implementation is 4-6 months.
