mikenflorida Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I was working through the DAV for my 100% disability. They recently sent me a letter saying the VA approved it, but I have to wait for the VA to do their paperwork. I contacted the VA that confirmed my 100% but they nor the DAV can give me any idea of how long the paperwork will take. Anyone been through something similar and know how long the paperwork might take? My bills are killing me and I would like to know approximately how much longer I have to keep the bill collectors off of me, before the VA gets it together.

HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted March 23, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'd guess within 30 days, depending on how busy your RO is. jmo pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chr49 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Mike, Sounds like good news so congratulations on that much! Once I received my letter it was only a week or so and I had money in hand. Don't have any idea how long it took the VA to get the letter to me after the actual approval though. CHR49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted March 23, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 23, 2010 It should be soon. The question will be what your effective date will be. The VA often trie to cheat on the effective date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenflorida Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well IF the VA does what the DAV letter says, it is retro back to my retirement date, almost 4 years ago. IF they pay me what the letter says, my payment could bankrupt the system...Almost 200K! Fingers crossed. They have shafted me long enough. DAV letter was dated 3 Mar, I called the VA today and it was updated yesterday (My B-Day) to still in review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
mikenflorida
I was working through the DAV for my 100% disability. They recently sent me a
letter saying the VA approved it, but I have to wait for the VA to do their
paperwork. I contacted the VA that confirmed my 100% but they nor the DAV can
give me any idea of how long the paperwork will take. Anyone been through
something similar and know how long the paperwork might take? My bills are
killing me and I would like to know approximately how much longer I have to keep the bill collectors off of me, before the VA gets it together.
Thanks
Mike
