Hi all, Long time reader and fan of this community and it's forum. Finally decided to make an account to post with and help other users after dealing with a lot of roadblocks from VARO and BVA. This community has been such wealth of information during my 13 year battle with the VA to finally get up to 100% P&T and am now fighting my effective date to when I filed back in 2011. My apologizes in advance if I posted in the wrong section or posted something previously answered in another forum. I am literally driving myself insane here and my anxiety is in overdrive as I wonder about my 8ish years of backpay that are currently being held hostage by VA. The backstory as it pertains to this appeal for EED: - Had a separate appeal for EED dismissed with BVA on 5/22/24. Decision letter was viewable the very same day (5/22/24) by the VA telephone assistance number and was promptly faxed for me to view. -I now have an appeal with BVA closed out on 9/5/24, and I have called the VA phone reps every afternoon around 1600 since 9/5 and have been told it has been awaiting signature since 8/28/24 and was last edited on 9/5/24, the same day it showed to me as closed out on VA.gov........however even today when I call, I am still being told it is awaiting signature & that a decision was drafted on 8/28/24. I suppose my question is: why would one BVA decision show immediately/same day after being closed. And this not having anything viewable after almost 2 weeks. The VARO/phone reps still aren't able to see what the decision is even today (9/9/24). Called the main DAV office in my area and was told by the lady there that a denial/dismissal would be viewable same or next day, sometimes takes up to 48 hours for VA reps to see, and she feels that this signature(s) taking almost 2 weeks now is definitely a good sign. Can anyone chime in with some type of insight as to whether this is typically good or bad or a con toss? I already know the only sure fire way to know, which is be patient and wait for the official decision to come in the mail....just looking for insight from some folks more knowledgeable than me when it comes to dealing with BVA decisions since AMA.
