I got an increase on my claim by 30% according to my SOC that I got about 1 1/2 months ago. Was just curious how long it may take to get the actual award letter. A couple days after receiving my SOC I called Peggy and was told I was just waiting on a few signatures and whatnot but after a month and a half I assumed I would have received the award letter or money. I am through the Louisville RO if that helps.

I don't think there is any hard and fast rule for time limits for actual percentage ratings after BVA finding. I don't think there is any rule for rating after SOC, but it should be soon. I don't ev

If you are on Ebenefits you can do it under your Dashboard under Documents.

(I AM NOT A RATER- I work the claims BEFORE they are rated, annotating medical evidence in your records, VA and Legal documents,  and DA/DD forms- basically a paralegal/vso/etc except that I also evaluate your records based on Caluza and try to justify and schedule the exams that you go to based on whether or not your records have enough in them to warrant those)

It still has not showed up on ebenefits. The only reason I know of the increase in my claim is because of the SOC.

I may be wrong but I think that the SOC is your award letter. I got SOCs for two appeals I had going on in Dec 2013 and they just told me to let then know if I was satisfied, seeing as they sc'd stuff I hadn't asked I was more than satisfied and told them so. I haven't heard anything from them since then.

Was it a BVA appeal? I won my case in mid April, 2014 and I too have been searching for an answer..

Keeping in mind every claim is different...

Good Luck,

Yea I was not sure if the award letter and SOC were the same thing. It does not specify any monetary figures just my percentage increase. I have no increase yet in ebenefits maybe on the first I will see it.

CB:

It was through a DRO appeal. How long did you wait till the increase/award letter and money show up?

I won my case in mid April, and I am still waiting for the award letter. I got a phone call from the D.C. Veterans Service Center yesterday, confirming my address.

Hang in there.
