Hello all!
So I received the lowest of the low ratings last year and was advised from a friend I served with to submit a NOD.
This friend of mine had a similar low rating, submitted his NOD and had his congressman follow up on it. He's now rated at 90%.
Anyway, so I took his advice and I wrote my congressman as well. The congressman has been inquiring about it and they contact me once in awhile...and they never have any news except, "it looks likes it's still pending review."
The only paperwork I've received from the VA regarding my NOD was the initial "We've got your notice of disagreement and it has now under review." Then about 6 months later they sent a letter saying, "no news yet, still under review."
How long does this process take?? My initial rating took about 7 months from my discharge date. I'm now 10 months out from the day they received the NOD, I wonder what the deal is and who i can contact.
*Addt'l Q: If it's approved and my percentage is increased, will they include a retroactive pay? (17 months now from hon. discharge)
Thanks everyone!!!
