Moderator broncovet Posted March 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2013 Well I am glad to know I am not the only one. According to fast letter 10-02, the VA is supposed to implement (that is, pay) board decisions immediately, even if they are partial grants. I also have been waiting since August, and the RO will not respond to IRIS emails about it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghp0405 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I have been told that many VARO's took the individuals that were doing dependency and retro claims, promoted them or moved them to another position to assist with the backlog, and these claims are being done as an additional duty. The service manager told me this himself. I believe everybody remembers additional duties, you do them when your work is done. These claims are not a priority with VA (not my words, but his). Again, I've seen anywhere from 10 days to 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no definitive answer in regards to a timeframe for receiving retro comp. It comes - when it comes - about the same as a rating decision. Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

HadIt.com Elder Chuck75 Posted March 27, 2013 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 27, 2013 If memory serves, 22K should be below the levels requiring "extra" handling and signatures. It's likely in a pile received from DFAS, and awaiting "processing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
