Retro Question about time frames

[Wayne TX]

I just found out on eBenefits today that my increase for Pansinuitis under Appeal at RO was upped from 10% to 30% maximum. 

TWO QUESTIONS.........(1) should I see the the new monthly increase come May 1.......and (2)  how long does it normally take to receive Retro amount deposited once they've posted new disability on eBenefits. I have not receiving anything officially via mail just the disability change on eBenefits under Disabilities today, but I did check with my local VA and they reconfirmed.

Congratulation Wayne

Your packet should be arriving anytime, usually a week or sooner after the $$ hits the bank  if retro was below 25.000 ?  under that  they usually send out the packet with in a weeks time frame. over 25.000.00  then it may take a few months

Good info as always Buck.......yep this one came in under 25k.........still waiting on two others that would be over 25k each if they pop.  I figure a few months.   So are you saying if they have decided to grant an Appeal they wont say until a few months down-the-line if it come in over 25k so it all ties together?

no they should let you know you was granted what ever and get the award letter..but if your retro is over 25.000.00 $$ it will take three signatures to sign off on it  and I believe one of the persons signing off is a G-12 Big wig and seems they take their time signing the last phase of the retro   this  is really hard and stressful on the veteran , but it can take up to 6 months to get it   3 months in the normal waiting period....if you don't get it sooner.

but with this new Trump Admin  it may take less time  ...we all just have to wait and see?

..if  you get yours over the 25.000.00 retro come back on hadit and let us know how long it took...it just varies or that's the way its been the last 20/30 years.

I've never got  over 25.000.00 retro  Just going by what other veterans who has .

[Wayne TX]

I have not either....most I ever got in the past was $19k retro..........I will certainly keep everyone informed if I get one over 25K and how long it took.  Good info Buck.

Q  -   I see where the delay factor occurs with the three sign offs required over 25k amount be it 3-6 months time frame before money deposited and paperwork flows.   Since the sinus increase was awarded April 4th (both it and SA were NOD on the same date) wondering based on your conversations with other Vets if that is a good sign it may be in the processing que now  (just waiting out signatures) to be granted as no SOC has been received yet?
