rated competent Found "Competent" by the V.A but......

[Gaijin J]

I was proposed to be incompetent, so I presented all the evidence possible to convince the V.A. that although my injuries are extensive; I am competent.

I waited for about 1 1/2 years for the V.A. to decide that I am in fact able to handle may own affairs and rate me "competent". According to the letter I am rated as competent and I shall continue to receive my full payment. However, I have not received any back payment or retroactive payment. When I called the Hot Line they told me that it will take between 10-45days to process. It is now 97days later and I still have not seen any action taken by the V.A.. As I continue to call them, they state that I do rate a large sum for my retroactive pay but, no one knows who to contact. I am at a loss.

I don't know who to contact to get this moving or why it is taking them so long. Does anyone have experience with this.....?   I really just want to pay the bills that stacked up while I could not work and had no way of paying..... I am not trying to build a savings account. Please anyone advise.

    Im not saying your question is not valid..its good and deserves an answer.  

    You should start a "new" topic to post your questions.  You will get more people to look at it.  Some of the experienced people dont respond to what is called "hijaked" posts.  A hijacked post is where you ask a question in someone elses post.  Its confusing as we dont know if one is responding to the first question or the second one.
