Question
allansc2005
Though this question does apply to me, I'm sure it's a question MANY vets have.
Won a CUE and IU effective January, 27th, 2017 via formal RO review.
My case falls under the "3 signature" rule, which means the retro entails more than 25K, and is expected to take a "little" while longer.
American Legion rep said "look for the retro in a month or so from the decision date(above), and that big white envelope a few weeks later; Ebenefits entry for the approval is anyone's guess..."
Called the rep back in March, his answer "The VA is way behind on these things, give it another month" Mid April I called the VA's 800 number and was told "Your case is in Washington DC right now...so we can't tell you a completion date..."
Today is May 1st, 2017; So 3 months, one week and 4 days later since my decision date, and no retro, no white envelope, no Ebenefits entry.
Now, before I ask the topic question, let me ask this question: Cases that involve three signatures, what's the "path", where do these cases go, and is there a mandatory time line the VA has to complete these types of case? OH, by the way, I've had NO monthly pay increase as well.
Yes, yes I know, I'm not the only pebble on the beach, but....
How long is too long?
