bva grant, waiting on rating and efective date.

Rate this question


Troxell

Question

I received a letter from the BVA dated May 24 , 2018 stating that I had been granted service connection for some issues and a remand for other issues. I am still waiting on an effective date and rating. My question is will the VA implement the grant while waiting on the remand? how long does this process usually take? I was ok while my case was on appeal but since I received my grant I have went crazy. I check e benefits 3 times a day and i cannot stop wondering what my new rating is. How long does this process take? I thought I had won my case but nothing has changed. sooo tired of waiting on the VA. Any info on time would be great or any suggestions to speed this up.

Thought for sure I would be able to give my kids just a little bit nicer Christmas this year. But I should have known better than to count on the V.A.. 7 months and counting. I am starting to think that the only thing im ever going to recieve from the V.A. is a hard time. Sorry for the rant I am just frustrated and sad. Dealing with the V.A. can make you want to eat bullets!!!!!!!

Here is a little trick I use..pretty much after all else has failed.  I get "checks" from credit card companies because I have excellent credit.  So, if Im sure I will get money from VA "in a few months time", I will use one of the checks.  Lets use an example.  Lets say I have been awarded benefits that I know will result in 15,000 retro.  And, lets say I want to celebrate this Christmas, but am pretty sure my retro wont happen until March or April.  

Well, then I "write a credit card check" for 1500 and give myself an advance.  Often you can get this at 0 percent interest.  Its not a good idea to do this all the time, but I dont like to make my whole family suffer from VA's terminal incompetence.
