Common Or Uncommon?

[luvHIM]

Just wondering how common or uncommon it is to get a benefit payment before actual receipt of your award notification from the RO?

AND;

Is it possible to receive the award notification from RO before it is actually updated in the system? For example, if you call the 1-800# and vet rep doesn't show anything; but then you get a decision letter or notification in the mail. Does that happen? And, if so, is it more uncommon than common?

Thanks
