deyjason Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Can anyone give me a general timeframe in which a rating decision can be expected after nexus has been established, medical evidence collected, and C&P exam completed and results recieved?

HadIt.com Elder cowgirl Posted February 5, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks for the reply, got the definition, smiles, just wondering if VA promulgating means anything a bit more specific- maybe, getting any more signatures, pushing the 'Go' button at DFAS and adding initials and a stamp to the SOC envelope? Have a good one, Cg'up2009! 2 a: to make known or public the terms of (a proposed law) b: to put (a law) into action or force That is Websters definition. Yours shouldn't take long if that is all that is left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meddac Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks for the reply, got the definition, smiles, just wondering if VA promulgating means anything a bit more specific- maybe, getting any more signatures, pushing the 'Go' button at DFAS and adding initials and a stamp to the SOC envelope? Have a good one, Cg'up2009! Signatures....no. The signatures are already done. The person doing your award will have to sign it, but that is pretty small. Pushing the 'GO' button at DFAS...no. DFAS is usually something that we are waiting on...sometimes for hours or days. Stamp on the SOC envelope...no, again. That says to me that you have an Appeal pending. They are a bit slower because of the volume of work, but promulgation time would be the same. Sorry, my lady, no magic behind the word. Like I said...depends on the RO that has your claim.

HadIt.com Elder MikeR Posted February 6, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 6, 2009 If the BVA grants service connection, do they just send it back to the VRO for the rating work, or do they decide that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meddac Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 If the BVA grants service connection, do they just send it back to the VRO for the rating work, or do they decide that? When BVA makes a decision they send a copy of the court transcript to the veteran and to the VARO. The Regional office Appeals team then carries out that decision. It's a "172 Grant", and there are timelines that the RO has to work the decision. The veteran will usually receive the decision before the RO does, but depending on the Appeals team, it can be dealt with in an expediant and timely manner. Good question. Used to be my position actually...to review the BVA decision and establish the grant in our system. The Appeals team has their own raters on staff to carry out the decision.
