Fastest Va Response Ever

[rattattat]

On June 12 , I mailed a request for reconsideration asking for a higher percent on 2 separate ratings that my friend Dave got in his award on May 28.

We received a big fat letter today from the VA. This is the fastest response that I have ever heard of, 4 days! It contained the usual stuff about the evidence we submitted, and asked if there more, the form to decide now or wait 60 days etc.

If only it would take them 4 days to decide that he deserves a higher rate. Wouldn't that be nice.

His most recent medical records support the higher rate according to the rating schedule, and they show that he has not improved in 4 years, shows getting worse.

I just wonder how long it will actually be before he gets the decision. Does a request for reconsideration drag along as slow as the original claim?

Thanks for being here for all the vets.

It appears to go faster. The reviewers are more experienced DRO level people who can actually reverse a previous decision.

4 days from claim to recipt of a letter is the fastest I have seen so far. I thought 15 days from C@P to the retro was fast.
