HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted October 3, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 3, 2009 My last increase I got the letter and it was already in the bank. Good Luck Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted October 3, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 3, 2009 It will show your regular amnount. If you are issued a retro check then it usually takes a few days as the recording sometimes changes. My 2nd retro the recording did not change, The last one it did.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetsLady Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 We haven't received the written word of a SC yet. It just seemed odd to hear something other than the "Sorry, we can't access your claim info, etc." Thank you.....

VetsLady Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hi John.... Thanks for the input. Not to put words into your response, but.....are you thinking the appeal was granting prompting an increase? Thus, would explain the new message on voice activated 1-800 dial-it. This has been gnawing at me all day like a mosquito bite....Deet is out of the question because of the chemicals. I'm beginning to think I'm an impatient woman when in reality, I have tons. Even if we call the 1800-dial-an-it on Monday, they aren't going to give us any credible info. Will dial AMC directly or, check out the the old bank account. Seriously, as you all know, the waiting game is absolutely agonizing, especially after working the file for so many years and on top of it all, and really the most important issue is my husband's health. See ya all on Monday! VetsLady and, Proud to Be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
VetsLady
I check our bank account each month to be sure the VA DD was done.
When I have called the 1-800, (it has always, always said "Sorry we don't have your claim
information, please hold on")
On a whim, I phoned today and this time it gave me the last DD amount and the date it was
made. It was the regular amount.
Many of you know we have an ongoing appeal that has been at the AMC. I'm a realistist,
and until the penny is in your pocket, it's just not there. But, I wonder, since I was told
by AMC the other day, that his file was sent upstairs for rating if this is why I'm not getting
the generic message.
Seems like a trivial question in light of it all, and if I were giving the advise, I'd say "Relax, wait
for the envelope to come and then you will know for sure"
What I'm asking our fellow Veterans is if this has ever happened to them before and what was the
outcome?
Thank you.
