i keep hearing about this infamous 800 number on here but have no idea what it is... and what are the buttons to press to get to talk to someone quickly... and iris? i have no idea what that is either. the varo is oakland and all i heard from my vso is that it takes about 60 days from your last c&p appointment before a decision or money is recieved

1-800-827-1000 and choose Compensation (I guess).

I'm not always successful getting a human; often it says "Too busy now- try again later".

Good luck!

this will put you directly into the que for a service rep who "should" be able to answer your questions.

usually they say "it takes a long time, do you know how many claims we are processing" followed by laughter

The waiting is part of the game. Some folks here have been waiting for 15 years or longer.

Hope you hear something soon.

and i cant imagine it taking that long. i feel for those of you who have had to wait any longer than it should realistically take. i just would not be able to hang on financially for that long, another couple months is gonna be hard enough. ill try the 800 number today, thanks for the replys

haha see what i mean, i tried calling right after my last post and my call was redirected to sprints customer finance service so i can pay my late bill

Ok, i went to the VARO today and they set me up for Ebenefits. Was really simple actually, She just wanted three pieces of identification (DD214, State ID, and Passport). I just logged on to check my status, it just says its in Phase I Status, mind you there are 6 phases. I guess i'll just keep on waiting. I know my day is coming and the retro is going to be well worth it, as I have a lot of evidence for my case.
