Case close for increase claim

[tuanntrang]

Hello everyone,

Happy labors day to all, so my question was i my current disability is rated at 50% since last years, since then i haven't seen any improvement myself, I haven't work much or able to keep a stable job, my last job was at home depot for prob 2 months as a greeters around the end of 2019, I just submit all my disability for an increase on may 2020 and my case just close on September 3rd 2020, when to only 1 C&P exam where the doctor just ask me about my injury and how it feel about it, if i pull any muscle or tears any thing, i told the doctor it just hurt when walk or stand, some flare up sometime on my knee. so i limited myself to mostly sit or lay on bed, can't keep a job for long. She told me so you disable then and just told me the exam is finish. No extra check up/exam, No xray or mri.

 

I know my case is complete and the letter should be here soon, but my question is how likely for me to get an increase? if so how much could i percent should i expected?

I heard from someone that if i get approve most likely my ebenefits rating should have changes before my letter arrived, if it doesn't chance til my letter arrive that mean most likely is a denied letter.

It isn't unusual for the back and forth action; happen a lot.

If you check "letters" in VA.gov it can show a change in your ratings. Also, ebenefits under rated disabilities. I had a change the day after the decision was made but the hard copy can take 7-10 days. Also, assuming you have direct deposit, the deposit for back pay can be in your accout in as little as 2-3 days. Best of luck.

Thanks, It just now change to Review Of Evidence. Yes i got direct deposit. thanks most likely i wont see my claim close at least until december 1st.

Maybe you're right. But then, maybe not. In any case, it probably won't be long now. You've waited this long, few more days won't matter. Good luck.

Update: Went back to gather of evidence for a almost a week now.

I check the letter it say i suppose to get $1132 instead of $1117, Anyone know why? 

And today i just got a extra $443.76 deposit what is the reason behind it?

don't get ne wrong we all love getting pay extra, but any veteran here have an idea?

tuanntrang I don't know either, but I guess I would start by calling Peggy, the VA claims general line. 800-827-1000. If they can't give you an answer, they can direct you to the right dept. to contact. It just might ne financial audit, but I don't know. My guess on the first one is a typo.  The $443.76 could be the difference between your old rate and your new rate and it could be for over several months. Just speculation; you have a right to know. I don't know why they don't include a detailed explanation on the amount of deposits we get. I do know, however, that if you think you were short changed, you can just request an audit.
