I appealed a denial for service connection for two issues last year, received a RAMP opt-in form and signed up. The RAMP appeal was opened and closed three different times and was ultimately pushed through, ending in a closed status on va.gov on March 14. Only after calling Peggy twice and hearing the gentleman at the call center physically print it out, did I actually receive the letter on April 11. Verdict: denied service connection. The screwy thing is that the original appeal remained open on va.gov until March 11. It was then updated as closed with “Service Connection Granted”, and stated that if I was going to receive a rating increase, I would see it in one to two months.
Anyone had this happen or know what to expect? Peggy has no answers...
I can’t help but remain a little hopeful that I never received the original RAMP decision by mail because of the original appeal for some reason remaining open and subsequently being granted . That’s probably to good to be true though.
