Appeal granted.

I started my first va disability claim in 2010. It was for sinusitis and rhinitis. I only had a few medical records documenting that I said I had sinusitis and rhinitis. The first doctor didn't agree it was from my service. So I didn't get the nexus. I appealed and it went back to the VARO for a review. After a year or so It came back and I put in for the BVA appeal.

I got my C&P exam last year after a remand. recently I found out that everything I asked for was granted from VA.gov appeals history section. It says updates take one to two months. I don't know what ratings I got because the website doesn't have that information on it. Does anyone know if the one to two months is accurate for update to disability rating? 

Thanks to those of you contributing information that helped me figure things out.

Congratulations!  

Neither VA.gov nor ebenefits is accurate, reliable or up to date.  You will have to wait for the envelope.  Even after you win at BVA, you still have to have a VARO implementation decision which can take a few months to a year or more.

Just found I was granted 50% and now stand at 90% overall. I'm thankful because for two decades this disability interfered with many things. I could hardly talk for 15 years and still have trouble at times.

kent101 Way to go; 50% grant gets you up to 90%, that's terrific! Took a lot longer than you really wanted but all in all, you kept with it an finally won. Good example for folks to do the same. Nice. When you get your back pay consider a helping donation to Hadit if you can afford it, but in any case, congrats.
