bbow82 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) I had been used to it setting in the gathering dust stage for so long, it surprised me when there was movement. I didn't let myself get excited about it, at first. Then I got my hopes up when the VA lady called me last Friday and the letter followed from DAV Monday. Although I knew it was normal for claims to go back and forth online, it was still a big disappointment to see it happen.

HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted November 4, 2012 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 4, 2012 Pending Decision approval is the signature phase of the claim by the VSCM, Depending on the ampount of retro, the number of signatures is different. I thinkl it requires 2 for 25K. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
