Would A C&p Hold Up My Award

[Rob m]

I was awarded 80% with a decision date of 26 July (effective to 01 Feb 2011), the award letter stated the VA wanted to reevalute a scar (previously awarded 0%) . I have a scar C&P scheduled for later this month. My question is, why have I not seen a penny from my orginal claim/award? Are they waiting for the information from the scar C&P later this month before they decide to release funds? The retro is growing larger, but I need the $'s now. I would have thought I would have something by now.

Thanks

Do not ever miss a c and p exam.

If you miss it, you will wait even longer. Go get it done. As far as the awarded part of the claim, I would ask your rep to investigate. Usually they dont hold up claims for deferred issues but with the VA, anything is possible.

Do an IRIS request asking the staus of your funds. It i possble that someone forget to release the funds The scar should have been a deferred issuel.

If the 80% involved PTSD, there may be some serious fiscal details. And, naturally, having the VA "drop the ball" is not unheard of!
