I have a question, how "powerful" is a IRIS inquiry? I ask this question to say this, normally when doing a IRIS inquiry if you ask a in depth question that requires a specific set of answers (yes or no is not applicable), what happens? If you ask a generic question the possibility of you receiving a Generic answer is pretty high. I have used IRIS, for an inquiry into my effective dates and the reason I think this theory is correct is because I have not received my envelope from last decision. Not from my VSO or VA. If I do not receive by next week I will call my VSO.

On a different note, I have contacted my VSO for the Decision Notice date we see if there is one. If not, IRIS is "powerful"

Mike; it's the VA. They are supposed to answer in 5 business days or less, but not so much. My last and most recent use of IRIS was an inquiry as to why my FOIA request for copies of a C&P contractor exam hadn't been issued after 4 months. I never got a written response. Two weeks after I sent in the request, I got the info in the mail. It's just NOT going to be consistent; it's the VA. However, if they don't respond, don't hesitate to send in a second inquiry. That has worked in the past before. Bottom line, it's a lot better than calling Peggy and getting misinformation.

Man you took the words right out my mouth

Alright, I submitted my HLR for EED yesterday

[Miken2c74]

Well I am still waiting on a answer for my EED. I am hastily approaching 125 days. I am getting nervous by the day and a lot of headaches and not sleeping well.

Miken2c74 Hang in there man. You know the drill. 125 days is an estimate. But if they see it's YOUR name on the claim, the double it:-)

Check VA.gov once a day, and when they say they have made a decision, check your "letters" section for maybe an update on your disabilities rating. Also, you can check ebenefits for financial payments to you/direct deposits. If you have a VSO or someone who can check vbms, they can look and see what the decision letter says for you once they have said the decision is in the mail. Or, get a hobby!
