Evening, I'm sure a question like this or similar has been asked but hard to find exact parallels. I will be brief but hopefully detailed enough in order to receive some help !
I filed a claim in 2015 for my back which got denied and I filled NOD and so the process starts, During that time I was placed on SSDI. In April 2019 I received a decision to the NOD which I totally forgot about, but in a nut shell I was granted increased ratings for my back, sciatic pain. The judge granted me IU permanent (100%?), at the house bound rate and backdated that to November of 2014. According to the VA.gov site it takes or they said it should take 1-2 months for the processing. I called my DAV rep today and he told me 6 months to 1 year to process. There was 1 remand and that was TMJ and I already had the medical appointment for that, jaw locks up and can't open my mouth.
I received the decision from Washington VA judge, went to San Diego office, and now it is in Sacramento office getting th first of 3 reviews...? 3 reviews...?
Does it really take that long to process the grant decision? does the DAV time frame sound right ? Thoughts or suggestions? Thank you Semper Fi !
