Hello everyone,
I sent my CUE packet to the VA last month via certified mail and it was delivered on 9/23. Two days ago, I checked the VA web site to see if it was in the system yet. It wasn't. I called 1-800 and they showed it had been received, but not started. They sent an IRIS request to get a status and said I should hear back within five business days. Well, I just got a call from a very friendly lady at my VARO. She said it has now been placed into the system and I can see it on the web site. I should get the proverbial "we received your claim" form letter in a few days.
The interesting part is she said that my claim can be processed by any VARO. Apparently, they now all work from a central queue. This makes sense with everything being digital and they can balance the load across all VAROs. i'm not 100% certain that this is the case, but it does sound promising.
She also said the VA officially has 125 days to complete supplemental or HLR claims, but the estimate could be lower or higher depending on the circumstances of each claim. She unofficially recommended I check online every couple of weeks, but I planned on doing that anyway.

This is great news, I need to file 2 separate CUEs and they both would result in a nice chunk of change, it would be nice if they were handled by a different VARO honestly 😉 I hope yours goes well!!
