Rating and award

[Waitingtoolongdave]

Hello everyone! After 7 long years, I was finally granted service connection on May 13th of this year for a lumbar injury and sciatic nerve paralysis. After calling the VA hotline a few times, I've been told my issues are in the "decision phase."

However, a 3rd issue was remanded. I have a c&p exam scheduled for the remanded issue on October 31st. 

My question is: Will they issue a rating and award for the 2 issues already granted or will they wait for the remanded issue to be adjudicated before I see a rating and award?

It looks like its folded into M21-5 7.D.2, the DROC manual, that I may soon come to know better since I may be starting in the D.C. DROC soon.

V.ii.3.B.1.c.  When to Make a Partial Rating Decision

Make a partial rating decision when one or more issues require additional development before they can be decided, but the record otherwise contains sufficient evidence to  grant any claim at issue, including service connection (SC) at a noncompensable level reduce, or propose to reduce, a benefit sever, or propose to sever, SC, and/or propose or implement a finding of incompetency for payment purposes. Important:  The Veterans Benefits Administration’s mission is to serve Veterans and their eligible dependents and survivors in the most timely and accurate manner possible. It is only appropriate to extend suspense or diary dates if it is necessary for a specific adjudicative action.  Suspense dates must always correspond with specific actions and should not be arbitrarily extended under any circumstance. When employees handle a claim, they are expected to take the most full and complete action possible on a claim every time – including development, rating, and promulgation actions – to move a claim forward to accurate completion in the claims process.  Every effort should be made to move the claim to the next processing cycle each time it is handled. Exception:  When issues cannot be resolved because of a Veteran’s return to active duty, follow the procedures in M21-1, Part IV, Subpart ii, 2.A.4.c.   References:  For more information on evaluating competency, see M21-1, Part X, Subpart ii, 6.A proposed rating decisions, see M21-1, Part X, Subpart ii, 3.D reductions in awards, see M21-1, Part X, Subpart ii, 4.B, and severance of SC, see M21-1, Part X, Subpart ii, 5.B .

[Mr cue]

 I could be wrong but all that sound like they are to grant the granted issue not hold it why they work the remand other claim etc.

Even address them put in suspension date to prolong a claim or appeal.

Great info everyone
