Decision & Claims File Dispatch - 13 Feb 14...nothing Recieved As Of 18 Mar 14

Looked at EBENEFITS and it states that a decision on my appeal was made on 13 Feb 14. Talked to a number of reps at the the 1-800-827-1000 number and was told the same. The last person I talked to said they could see a narrative was completed on 12 Feb 14. Could not tell me what it was but said I would be "happy"....assuming that this means favorable. Below is pasted directly from EBENEFITS....

• Local VA Office of Jurisdiction: Houston, TX
• Power of Attorney: I - State Svc Org
• Current Progress: Decision & Claims File Dispatch
• Current Progress Description: Your case has been received at BVA, and BVA has mailed your decision to you (and your representative, if any) and will be returning your claims file to the VA Medical Center. Please note that transit times vary, and there may be some lag time between when BVA forwards your claims file to its appropriate location and when that location receives it.

Any idea on why I have not received a notification yet?

HOUSTON WE NO LONGER HAVE A PROBLEM! Great news, I woke up Saturday morning at 4:45 like I normally do every week day and went to use the bathroom. Checked my phone and there was an alert for a deposit from my bank. Bottomline….I received my retropay. From everything I had calculated I was only off by .88 cents so I am happy. Retired in 2009, working this appeal since Apr/May 2010 and finally it is done. So thankful….don't give up….never give up….best of luck to you guys…keep fighting!
