Question
RockyA1911
My claim is now 19 months old. It was farmed out by Chicago RO to Cleveland RO 28 June 06 for rating decision. I have inquired faithfully every two weeks and every response was that it was at the rating board for decision and due to heavy backlog of claims it may take between 3 and 4 months.
When I inquired yesterday I was told my claim is not at the rating board anymore and is now being worked by the TIGER TEAM? The Chicago VA rep said they had no further info they could give me and also they had no idea now of when I would receive the rating decision.
Is this not odd? I am not dying or elderly, I am 58. The claims were filed with ED of 25 Mar 2005.
Does anyone know why the TIGER TEAM would have my claim after already being at the rating board for 4 months. The VA rep couldn't tell me anything about the TIGER TEAM or what they do or why my claim went from so long at the rating board to the tiger team.
On one of my claims for skull loss I did prove I should get awarded 80% for skull loss with hernia and retro pay back to Nov 1976. I claimed it and have the records back in 1976. Although the VA service connected my TBI for Post Concussion Residuals, Left Temporal Lobe, chronic at 10%, they failed to service connect the skull loss that was done in the same surgery for the TBI while on active duty.
If anyone has a clue as to what is going on, please post. I am in the dark about the Tiger Team and worse yet the VA said they were sorry they could not even give me a ballpark as to when I may receive the decision. I just thought this seemed odd and backwards.
