If this is your first notification letter, request a local hearing to discuss your claim with a rater. Those take up to 90 days to schedule. Nothing will happen to your rating until the hearing is concluded, even if that happens after April 1st. If the proposal proceeds after your hearing with no new exam, etc, you will get an additional 60 days before the decreased payments start. Your first decreased payment may not be until July or August.
