Waiting Authurization?

[stillhere]

I Iris the RO and they said my friends claim was waiting to be authorized? Is this new?

Does it mean his claim as been granted?

Does it means it is real close to the end?

Thank you for all your replys.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I would say yes you should hear something in the next few weeks, can't say for sure which it would be since they can deny or approve. Here's hoping its good news.

With the VARO even denials have to be "authorized" so you can NOT assume anything based on that, you need to wait and open the envelope before you get your hopes up, I have seen to many people myself included that thought waiting on an authorization means I am getting some type of award, and voila yep I got a denial that just makes it worse mentally

with that said I hope when you open the envelope it is the award you are looking for if not appeal appeal and appeal the only thing that wins claims is evidence and persistence some of us are of the opinion that at times the VA is just playing a wait and see game see if they can make us quit because of frustration and the stress of waiting and make us take our claims to the BVA to have a Judge award it because a denial gets it off their desk and if the claim is one the main office is trying to reduce awards of like exposures to toxic chemicals or burn pits in Iraq or Afghansitan or Cold War experimental programs or low balling PTSD claims where they grant 10% or 30% when it is obvious you should be either 70% TDIU or 100% schedular as Rummy used to say sometimes it is a "long hard slog" if you don't expect to much then you won't be disappointed when you open the envelope if you expect the brass ring you are probably going to be disappointed we have ALL been where you are thats why we are here we all "HAD IT" with the VA claims process, if we were happy with it and it worked right all the time, then veteran websites like this would not be necessary would they?

Good luck
