VRAB favorable descision wait time

[soldier2000]

I did a VRAB in Feb and received my favorable descision mid march, from there what's the wait time? When I called VAC they told me it was in process. What was you waiting time when VRAB descision was received? Thanks

I did my board the end of Nov, got my letters just before Christmas and got money increase by end Feb. I would say you should get it any time now. Don’t wait for the letters, they take forever. Keep checking your payment amounts in VAC. I did that daily until I received. VACs comms are terrible.

How long of a wait from when you request a review?

Long story short.....a long wait. I waited 2 years.

One year for me. It's been 2 months since I received my favorable decision from VRAB and I'm waiting for payment from VAC.

Does anyone know what the wait time is on increases to disability assessment, or what happens after the VRAB? A decision letter from the VRAB was uploaded by BPA, in which an increase to the disability assessment was awarded. Curious to the timeline since VAC will not need to adjudicate the %

Ack. I can def shed some light on this as I just recently went through this and have another one in the hopper for an Appeal.
Although I am a bit confused by what you are saying when you say "VAC will not need to adjudicate the %". I will just go by what my process was and it was the same for my coworker too and yes VAC does need to adjudicate the percentage.
My VRAB Appeal was a Favourable Decision with a 10% percentage awarded. From there it automatically goes to VAC for adjudication on the Percentage Rating. That took a month. Once VAC was completed the adjudication on the %, I noticed a new PSC Monthly Amount in My VAC Account under Current Benefits with a VAC Decision Letter with attached Election for Lump Sum Option form. I submitted the form immediately that same day and I had my Lump Sum direct deposited in a week.
So from the time VRAB Decision to VAC Adjudication/Processing/Lump Sum deposit took 37 calendar days.

Thank you for the reply.

What I am referring to is that the appeal for the percentage that was awarded. It was a reassessment that we felt was too low. So the advocate was appealing to the board not for entitlement, but to raise the % awarded. The VRAB panel agreed to raise the disability award 20%. So I was under the assumption that VAC will not need to adjudicate the disability % because the decision to do so was already completed by VRAB.

Ack. Gotcha. Yea who knows with VAC. Maybe VAC will still adjudicate it.
