Hello,
my wife was AD AF for 24 years. She recently went through IDES and received a proposed rating of 100% disability while she was still in. She just retired on 13 Aug 2021. I called the VA and asked when we might can expect a decision letter but he let me know that the system just auto-populated a message saying my wife decision has closed. Her claim actually went back to Evidence gathering, review, and decision the day after her retirement date. He had told me that since she was retiring, the IDES stopped and it was sent as a normal VA disability channel. I am just wondering from people that have had this happen the following things:
Did your final VA rating reflect the same thing that the VA had proposed during the IDES process?
How long after retirement was the final decision made?
thank you in advance for any assistance!!
