Congressional Inquiry Worked!

[vetmp]

So my VSO gave up, said he could do no more for me because the VA was not returning his calls regarding my case. I have doubts that is true BUT, I called my congressmans office and within a week, situation is resolved so far....

They had previously claimed they couldn't get my Military Personal Records from DOD, and also played the revolving door trick with my mental health doctors.

Their reply to the inquiry stated that they did indeed have all the necessary info and have made a decision.

My question is how long does it take, once they have made the rating? I already know they will deny part of it because Audiology said my hearing had improved since entering the service when I outprocessed. I disagree but whatever, the important stuff SHOULD get approved....

Im at the edge of my seat here, I wish some of this stuff wouldnt take so long. I am very happy Congressman Farr's office was able to get this resolved quicker than my VSO or I could.

Next is the unemployable part.... Not looking forward to it....

Sounds as if you should be receiving your award letter very soon. As far as money in the bank, who knows.

You can try to call your VSO on Tuesday to see if he can tell you, your rating. I think Monday is a holiday

Best wishes and keep up the fight

[vetmp]

I will try to call him.... He isnt available very often, works part time hours and is often out sick or on vacation and his replacements never want to look into anything....

Good Luck. The last Vet I know who did that got a decision real quick. A Denial.
