"I currently have an lawyer representing me and is very fimiliar with the VA system. I currently have DRO assigned to my case. I had a hearing with the DRO on (Aug 29, 2016). I had a QTC Exam for PTSD on (Nov 16, 2016) with the word "EXPEDITE" in Big Bold Red Letters."
Now that the Exam is done, how long before you think I recieve any papers on the decision. Its Now Been Exactly 5 weeks.
This the response I received. "No one can tell you how long the DRO will take, but based on your information about expediting it, a guestimate of within 3 weeks may be sound. Once the DRO makes the decision, internal preparation to prepare your paperwork, any retro pay (if you are not retired) etc have to be completed because you will be issued a Rating Decision. If only a partial grant of sought benefits occurs, then the DRO would also have to prepare and issue you a Statement of the Case (SOC) explaining the reason and bases for the decision(s) which you received. Keep in mind that mailing time could result in about a week for a SOC, and about 2 weeks for a Rating Decision"
Does this sound about right ??? Ive recevied nothing yet and no changes on eBenefits.

Checking E-Ben can be like chasing your tail. However, as of late, E-Ben seems to be getting their act together, check it once a week if you absolutely have to. Your best bet for knowing you've b

kentorambo, did you put in a hardship request to expedite? Its very difficult to gauge without knowing where the expedite request is coming from, plus the holidays will probably slow things down a b
