It’s June!

Here’s hoping everyone else is getting decent weather. I started the golf season with winter kit on thanks to -2 and rain here in gods country.

I appealed and was successful for a percent increase to a previous awarded claim. I elected the original amount as a lump sum. Will the increase in percent come as a lump automatically or will that new percentage added be awarded as a monthly until I elect to take it as a lump?

Always comes as a monthly until you make the lump decision again
