Would anyone know or would like to share, how long after your official final out day, did it take for the VA to begin paying Compensation?

Currently I am looking at retiring the 23rd of November and wanted to know if by 1st January I would get my first Compensation payment.

Also, a MSC said that if that is the case, I would receive DoD retirement the last couple of days of November (prorated) and the whole month of December. Would this be correct?
 
I retired on 23 April and got paid on 8 Jun for May. BTW, I got my DD-214 the first day of my retirement and immediately uploaded it to e-benefits and faxed it to my VA rep.
 
I had a better experience than @chaplaincharlie. I retired 28 July 17 and uploaded my 214 to ebenefits the same day. I received a prorated payment from DOD on 1 Aug for the last 3 days of July. My VA rating was finalized on 18 Aug, and I received a full payment (part VA, part DOD) on 1 Sep for Aug.
