    VA COMP UNDER REVIEW???

    Hi guys. I was discharged from the service October 2012 for service connected disabilities. On Dec 1st, 2012 I was awarded service connected compensation for these injuries/disease processes. Oddly, I received a letter from the VA notifying me that my compensation claim is under review. I logged...

    Post-199, 4 weeks for orders?

    Mine took the full 4 weeks. I think that is pretty standard. The election letters have to go back to the PEB and then get processed. This take a bit of time to generate the official orders. Good luck to you!

    I agree with you. The information I have received on here is conflicting what my VSO (veteran service officer) says. Hope he is wrong and everyone here is right. But, if he is wrong...and he has been doing this for years...what does it really say about the services receieved at this level? I...

    Question about surgery well in the process...

    I was told absolutely no surgeries during this phase (except emergencies)...or I would have to wait at least 6 months after surgery and then restart the whole process because of the time needed for recovery. I opted to wait and push on through this process. It took me 3 1/2 months after my PEB...

    VA MSC says 7 year average for an appeal?

    Good to know. I wonder if they tell you that so you are discouraged and don't bother appeal? Weird.

    VA MSC says 7 year average for an appeal?

    Has anyone else heard this? Also, is a reconsideration the same as an appeal for someone who is recently (w/in 12 months) separtated from service?

    What should I expect for my VA rating?

    Though I don't know the details of your injuries, I would be surprised if you don't walk away with 100% Hang in there though, the process if tough and long...but when it is over...I know it will have been worth it for you and your family. God Bless, and thank you for you service and sacrifice!

    Disagree with a rating by initial VA review and proposed ratings.

    Thank you for the advice. I am lucky to have a small local VA clinic in my area. I will make sure I register the day after I separate.

    Disagree with a rating by initial VA review and proposed ratings.

    TAB, the proposed rating were passed down and I accepted them. I didn't want to fight for an increase at that time as I have been told it can add months to your case. I have had all I can take of this ordeal..and it is in the best interest of my health at this time to move on and separate. I...

    Disagree with a rating by initial VA review and proposed ratings.

    I should also mention, I have documentation to show this is a lingering issue since 2009. The VA would have had these older records, but it appears it was not reviewed.

    Disagree with a rating by initial VA review and proposed ratings.

    I disagree with the VA's decision to rate me a 0% for my left hamstring injury. It was originally claimed as a Hamstring strain. The VA comp & pen stated in his report, it was likely to improve in the near future. He stated it was due to my recent foot surgery 12/2011 and that it was irritated...

    Could you also try calling the IG's office? I have heard that this is also an alternative to these type of concerns.

    SEVERANCE QUESTION

    I know I have seen earlier posts regarding severance, but I am confused as the information I read is often conflicting. Can anyone provide some clarity on this issue. Mainly, I am rated DOD 10%, VA 90%. I did not chose to fight for higher DOD rating as I am just ready to be done and move on. I...
