More retro=longer decision time?

[allansc2005]

Afternoon folks from sunny Palm Beach, it sure doesn't feel Christmas(y) here, but another day in paradise!

 

Got an Email on Ebenefits/va.gov this morning telling me my original decision date for my already SC claim increase has been moved from 12/22/2019 to 03/14/2020.

ALL evidence was submitted, including results from C&P exams, and accepted back on 11/18/2019, as per conversation with VA toll free number.

Two of the increase claims dated back to 11/20/1990, and one increase claim dates back to 03/18/2010. These we all included in this claim dated above.

VA also informed me on Ebenefits that nothing else was needed or required.

 

I've gotten all kinds of opinions on why the delay is taking place; everything from "It's the holidays" to "The VA has cut back on the number of people working on these claims"

 

Got one interesting email this morning here from a seasoned hadit.com member who suggested that "The amount of retro involved is more than likely the reason for delay.."

 

Is there a long drawn-out process that has to happen when paying out retro? More retro=longer decision time?

 

All input welcome.

Thanks giving, Christmas, and New year's all in succession, and your claim was submitted right before Thanksgiving. Are you surprised?

I would think the holidays are the best times to get a claim adjudicated usually in the veteran favor...but thats just my opinion.

@Buck, even nicer would be the 100% Scheduler decision.

 

Brother let me tell you,  I've gotten more responses to this thread than on any other subject I've posted.

 

Both here and email responses  have been a hodgepodge of opinions ranging from very informative, to comical to downright impossible. I even got an email from someone who must of had their boxers in a wad, and took it out on me!

 

In perspective, I guess I need to find out about all these "signatures" required before a large amount of retro is issued.

 

I'm surprised Berta hasn't tuned into this thread.

If you get all these condition approved  then combined they should infer the 100% And MOOT your IU, and check to see if you make the SMC -S  Latter ,and  you will have a 100%final degee rating.  with SMC, that's what they did to me.

let us know what they do?

Now don't stay up every night all night waiting that BIG pile of loot your fixing to get..its bad for your health.

RELAX GO FISHING OR TAKE A TRIP DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR TIME

@Buck,  while I did know the IU will go bye-bye, will my P&T remain after getting 100% Scheduler?

Also as far as the fishing is concerned,  most of us who live in Palm Beach either live ON or near the ocean, so I can step out on my porch or balcony and throw a line out and catch a few Grouper.

 

Red Snapper requires heading out to the Gulf stream.
