Some Good News

[Tower_Rat]

Hey All I called the VA this morning they say the claim is at the place where they authorize the claim for award but, they still wont tell me how much....any ideas? They said call back tommorrow or the latest monday to find out what my payment date is. I wonder why they wont tell me what the percentage is.

I would call again later today so that you speak to someone else. They may give you a better answer. I have done this and sometimes I get a very nice person who goes the extra mile to give me as much information as possible. It just all depends on who you talk to. If your entitled to retro they may tell you that and how much.

Tower_Rat,

That is good news, It is strange that they will not tell you, maybe you can keep calling until you get someone who will acctualy look into the system or if you have a VSO call them.

Sounds good- you have good evidence too---

3 authorization signatures means retro over $25,000- I dont know what one or two means-

They usually upgrade their PCS on Monday AM- but I sure hope you might get more info before then---

However in Jan a vet rep told me they had gotten three separate authorization signatures on my AO claim and he acted like I had won the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes.

I asked him ( he has been at this VARO for 15 years) do they ever authorize denials with 3 signatures and he said no-never-but three months later my claim went to the BVA.Good thing I learned to be wary of VA info until I have proof of what they say----

This does not appear at all to be the case with you-----I think this sounds very very good for you.

If they say in Finance that is truly the magic word but I dont think they post this on the PC most of the time as claims go right in and right out at Finance dept. and the check comes very soon after that.

GOD lets hope so!!!

Thanx

That seems to be the magic word ( AWARD)

You should get your VSO to hounddog the VARO. He will get the decision first.

I hope you get the good news you are waiting for but I was told the same thing 2 years ago and got the denial letter about 2 weeks later hopefully in your case you will get the check
