Just changed yesterday and I do have an RSO. He is pretty helpful but the suspense is killing me, of course. I did call the 800 number but all they could tell was the RD was 39 pages and going in the mail and that it could take up to 10 days to get to me.

I keep seeing references to 'call Peggy'. Can I ask, who is Peggy and can she provide me an update if she is not my representative? Just curious as my appeal just updated to 'The judge has made a decision' and 'The Board of Veterans’ Appeals sent you a decision on your appeal.' I figure that someone can see something so I don't have to wait the ten days or so. I call the -1000 number and they are not allowed to tell me anything. Just curious...

I have a current appeal with a VLJ and I show some Grants and Denials under the issues tab. I show a grant for coronary heart disease that I did not appeal. I have filed for this three times dating back to 2000 when I was medically discharged at a whopping 20%. I did not file the appeal but my most recent claim was in 2019 for the issue. The only documents in my file for this condition are from my military service. I am wondering how far they may go back for retroactive pay and how was it granted when I didn't appeal. My status page hasn't been updated in weeks as it has stated closed with grants and denials. Most grants say compensation issue while a couple are of specific issues. Also, happy to be aboard and thank you for all the information from users and mods.
