Congrats!!! Hard work does pay off; you do what you gotta do. As advised, be careful with spending the money. Necessary bills, like the power company first, but don't be foolish with it. Good luck to you and your family.

Congrats! 

How long did your claim take? From when you filed to when it was closed? Also how long from when it was closed to when you started receiving your new monthly $ amount and retro? 

 

My husband filed in Sept & had a c and p shortly after but nothing’s changed since. Just wanted to compare timelines, I’ve heard others taking years and then months to even see your increase in $ each month after a decisions made. We have two small children and are also struggling. Any insight would be helpful thanks!!

Congratulations.

@HAR2016, it can be months to years.  I have seen one case here move quickly after the wife contacted the congressman's office and told them they were going to lose their home and be homeless.  If you are in dire straights try to contact your congressman and see what they can do.  The VA also has a hardship application that you can fill out if you are in danger of losing your home or becoming homeless.  My case took ten years.
