Good morning All! Looking for some input here. My lawyer is vague, as he should be because of the VA being so unpredictable. I am currently rated at 80%, mainly due to back issues, hearing loss and PTSD (USMC Infantry). I opened my claim initially in March of 2015, the claim was appealed in January of 2016 and the decisions from my appeal came through in September 2020. As of October, my lawyer submitted for an HLR due to the VA screwing up my backpay. They went with the appeal date rather than initial date (go figure). I know the VA says roughly four months, but I am a skeptic because I haven't even been scheduled for my informal conference yet. Has anyone had an HLR lately and if so, what was your turnaround time? Figured I'd ask considering I am getting close to the four month timeframe and how substantial of a payout that will be. Thanks!
