[Back story] Roughly 09-01-2016 I started receiving 100% P&T for PTSD, but did not receive my backpay. It is being held up by a competency claim. I submitted an IMO letter from my primary mental health doctor at the VA. My lawyer also submitted a letter on my behalf stating, 'I, [veteran], have forwarded, [IMO from va doctor], and wish to waive my 60 day due process; if, it can be found that I am competent to manage my own finances; otherwise, I request a 'face to face.' (This isn't 'word per word,' but basically what was said.)
[Fast forwarding to today] I checked E-Ben and seen a claim for Eligibility determination completed on 01-10-2017. So I called the #800 number to find out what this is. #800 says it was to release my lawyer's fee. All the #800 can tell me about my claim is that my claim for competency is still pending and I will be contacted if needed. If they released my lawyer's fee; does this mean I am near the end of this competency claim?
