Recently I noticed a deposit of several thousand smackeroos in my bank account from VA comp and pen.
Logged into VA.gov to search for what was granted, as I have multiple appeals pending.
VA.gov only indicated a claim closed on Feb 24, 2022 for a compensation issue.
It said a letter had been mailed to me regarding the decision.
I've waited ten business days for the decision packet to arrive in the mail but nothing so far.
I called the VA 800 number.
I was told there was no decision letter by three different VA employees.
I informed each employee that a decision letter is required to be sent.
One VA employee informed me that the money was deposited in my bank account because it was money the VA wrongfully took out for attorney's fees.
Strange.
I've never raised this issue.
Did the VA CUE themselves?
Not sure how to proceed... but I did submit a complaint to the VAOIG regarding the matter.
Something smells fishy about this.
I truly want to preserve the time to file my appeal just in case I want to challenge the VA decision.
38 U.S.C. 5104 states that the VA Secretary shall mail claimants and their representatives notice of a decision in a timely manner. The corresponding regulation is 38 C.F.R. 3.103(b)(1), which states that claimants and their representatives are to be notified of any decision impacting the “payment of benefits or granting of relief.”

Get a VSO with VBMS access and they can see the letters and reason for decision without waiting for the mail.
