has any member received Retro After BVA GRANT ?

[paulcolrain]

im starting to see a lot of people are and have been in the same boat as me regarding retro and change of rating percentage. this question is to kinda find not a time frame but to solidify that something is really off with VA. obviously right im just starting to feel that maybe since this new Ramp program if the DROs or the processors told to drop some things and pick up on RAMP appeals. my past BVA decisions award came within 3 weeks and now its been over 6 weeks since judge grant.

so please submit answers as a story and a time frame if you could. THANK YOU

Hume, Where is your RO?  Mine is out of Atlanta.  I hear that Atlanta RO has the highest backlog.......

Jackson, MS. One of the slowest unfortunately.

Something that was suggested to me that I think any veteran getting a large backpay should consider is a financial adviser. Sit down with someone and go over your short-term and long-term financial goals.

Great advice- also it pays to save a few thousand if possible, to hold onto ,in case, at some point you would need an IMO/IME either for a higher rating or for a new claim.

Most banks have a financial advisor.

Tomorrow is day 150 since my TDIU with SMC (s) was granted at BVA.  No change, as far as I can tell.  While I did receive a BVA letter back in August, I haven't heard a peep since then.

If it means that someone who needs money a lot worse will get it sooner, I'm fine with it.  My wife and I aren't going without anything, so I can't complain a whole lot.

Never heard any more from OP paulcolrain, I hope that means he got his award and is living largely.

Day 297 for me..........
