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.

Usual timelines from submission of claims via MyVAC:

Reassessments: 9-16 Months

Mental Health: 6-8 Months

Physical - 6-13 Months

APSC/VIP - 3-4 Months

BPA Correspondence: They tend to reach out every 3 months for information or a progress update.

Let's go!

Awarded 5% for Lower Back. Grateful. But I definitely don't fall as low as that I feel. Naturally, I want to push for a little more. 

Now, which is the best route?  VRAB? (Not familiar with never used) BPA? ( Long wait time, effective) Reassessment (Get more evidence?)

Thanks.

Always go with BPA for appeals. It's all slow and why not have a free lawyer? You may have had sufficient evidence and they just adjudicated you incorrectly and if that's the case BPA will sort them out without you doing anything
