Moderator broncovet Posted March 27, 2013 Moderator Share Posted March 27, 2013 A lot of good it does to "speed up" claims, and then let them "die" before the RO gets around to paying them. I wonder if the VA treats its employees as badly as Veterans. The Veteran spends years, or decades in appeals, finally "wins" his case, then what does the VA do? Oh, it drags out paying the Veteran for months, of course, all in the name of "reducing the backlog". And they wonder why we say the VA has bad management and needs to "clean house" and "take out the trash". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted April 3, 2013 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 3, 2013 It may or may not. I can't see that it would hurt, at this point. Even if it slowed it down, you wouldn't know it. jmo pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailblazer Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 When I got 100% P&T I got the retro in less than 10 days. It maybe the RO where your claim is being processed that,s holding it up. My claims have all been processed at the Nashville TN. VA. and the retro has always showed up in less than 10 days. My last retro payment exceeded the S25000.00 limit for more processing. A congress man might be of some help. jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghp0405 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I have assisted 2 veterans that had been waiting for about 8 months for their retro. After contacting their congressman, they both had their pay within a week. I'm sure there are a lot of factors, but if the VA would follow their own procedures/fast letters, we wouldn't be having this conversation...
