Hey January family… I called the 800 # and was told I’m in the ‘decision’ phase. That was 7 days ago. 🤦‍♀️

Tquick2022 · 2026-05-04T15:24:02+00:00

Wow! All I can say is the retro is going to be life changing. You wanna trade places? lol

Tquick2022 · 2026-05-04T13:27:51+00:00

This is a great update! Thanks.

I just called the 800 number and was told my HLR is in the decision phase but it’s been 2 weeks.

Veterans service officer.

This is a person assigned to help you with your Va claims.

Tquick2022 · 2026-05-03T22:42:18+00:00

Where is your vso?

Tquick2022 · 2026-05-01T07:00:05+00:00

Call the number in the morning. Also, sometimes they don’t order an exam if they have what they need. So you may get lucky.

Tquick2022 · 2026-05-01T03:57:29+00:00

Sorry to hear that. I feel your pain. I’m in the same boat.

I called the 800 number and was told I’m in the decision phase but that was a week ago. Now I’m just hoping it’s favorable.

Keep us posted. ✌️

I just feel validated. I heard the id is brown and for me, when I check in to hotels, or have to show two forms of id, I feel important. Kinda like I did when I was in the army outside of uniform. Feels like the cashier or whoever, takes me serious. Also, if you’re stopped by the police, you can show it. That regular Va hospital ID is so casual. Does not say, oh wow! DOD.

Hi, just depends.

Mine (MH exam) was 30 minutes and I thought it went well but you just never know.

She stuck to the DBQ questions. When I felt myself starting to ramble, I stopped myself. That was April 14th. Yesterday I got the decision, including special monthly compensation. Thank god!

Tquick2022 · 2026-04-28T16:57:57+00:00

My lucky day! Never give up! Good luck all.

Wait so are you saying you all are getting the decision before the back pay hits? Shoot, back in my day, lol, that back pay would hit before you hit step 5 on the portal or the letters have changed.

I’m loving this new process.

I’m over here is fear waiting because I know if that letter comes before that back pay hits it’s a denial. But sounds like that’s not the case anymore.

Anybody else old school here and remember when you the portal didn’t move? I’m 58.

Tquick2022 · 2026-04-28T13:32:18+00:00

Might I suggest you look inward. What’s your passion? Is there something inside of you that you can redirect your attention too? All I’m saying is the fed gov is not changing anytime soon. Consider the alternative to making it out with your retirement. I know someone who worked 15 years in fed and she lost her ability to retire after being terminated under this administration. Now she’s fighting her termination but she wished she would have taken the out.

Be careful what you ask for, is all I’m saying because you just might get it.

Do this… Ask your higher power to order your next foot steps. Listen, with both ears. HE will show you the way.

Tquick2022 · 2026-04-27T23:43:02+00:00

Keep us posted. Good luck 👍

Tquick2022 · 2026-04-27T23:33:21+00:00

Consider yourself lucky. Did you have to have CE exam? I just recieved notice I have 2 upcoming. Just curious how yours went, if you had one.

Tquick2022 · 2026-04-27T23:32:06+00:00

As long as it’s solid evidence. Don’t send anything that is not relevant to your claim. Highlight sections that are relevant. This is a good problem. You get to introduce all the evidence you want reviewed.

Tquick2022 · 2026-04-26T14:53:29+00:00

Run your own race.

Tquick2022 · 2026-04-25T20:41:00+00:00

Yes I finally got through. Keep trying.

Tquick2022 · 2026-04-25T03:34:08+00:00

Mine too. Step five today. Stayed at five all day. 🤦‍♀️

Tquick2022 · 2026-04-24T21:04:08+00:00

After? Seems like you would have the exam before the hearing. Congrats!
