High Level Review Timeline

I recently posted on here my confusion about appealing an EED to VBA or HLR. My VSO had me submit an appeal with a HLR. In case anyone is interested in how that process is going for me, here's where I'm at.

Submitted HLR received August 7th
HLR made decision September 19 (claim closed temporarily) 
VA identified an error September 19
Veterans Benefits Administration is correcting an error September 22 (New status)

The HLR did make a change to one of my EED appeals (I have two that I'm claiming for a EED).  HLR changed it from 1/30/2019 to 1/13/2016. Retro pay hit my account today.

I'm sure I will receive some details on the decision in the mail and hopefully what the error is. I called Peggy Friday and they just said I'll get the decision in the mail and they couldn't tell me anything over the phone.

Thanks @GeekySquid  I felt like I was losing my mind for awhile just trying to get someone, anyone to look at the EED and see what I was seeing, so this was a big win for me. Looks like I may still be in for a uphill battle with the other EED but just to get one done made my day.

that you got one set of retro already is a big win. glad they did not tie it up longer with this remaining issue. hopefully it will go quickly an bring you in a few more ducats.

This brings up a separate question. How often will the VA decide and grant some, but not decide the rest of a multiple disability claim. I don't mean a court and remand decision situation, but say actually grant 1 or 2 claims and still keep the other 1 or 2 open?

va keeps that data secret....damn squirrels when it comes to useful facts.

Well, I am sure it is only for our own good to keep that kind of info away from us. I mean, after all, they ARE veteran friendly and always have the veterans' best interests at heart! Right?
