I can agree with that 100% and when called they all give different answers and can’t give a proper update for their lives. Hopefully you don’t wind up back in their realm again like I did. My examiner didn’t fill out the DBQ properly so the VA kicked an exam back and now I’m back in the QA process.

Posting this in hopes it helps people in the future
If the VES QA process is taking too fucking long;

Write an email explaining the situation to:
[email protected] (Maximus CEO - a VES company)

Within 24 hours, you will receive a response from a case manager who will actually expedite your case, and provide you updates as often as you choose. (I chose bi-weekly).

The VES rep, Michael Arredondo will get shit done on your behalf. Within 2 weeks of emailing the CEO, my DBQs were submitted to the VA.

Other people to email:
[email protected] (VA contracting worker assigned to VES)
Two high level employees;

Hey did notice your VA claim closed? If so how long after did you get the ratings? Mine closed May 15 so I'm hoping to hear something soon.

I never bothered calling the VA to check.
You should hear something back soon though.
 
That's good you got your proposal, I haven't heard anything since i was told the VA had my packet. I'm hoping to be clearing around the 15th of June though so we will see.

We keep playing leap frog, haha still waiting on my ratings. Glad you got it back so quick!
 
Update:
Just did my nightly VA app check and it states claim closed, of course my PEBLO is on leave until next week though. I've been in for over 13 years and this is the worst "hurry up and wait" I've ever dealt with.

When was it closed? Mine was closed the may 15 and my PEBLO said she had no update yet.

If you don’t mind can you please check the VA website or the app and see when your claim was closed. It should still be closed since you won’t see any movement until u ETS. I want to have an Idea when i should be hearing back from my PEBLO
