Post DES Comp & Pen payment

I'm curious if this has happened to anybody else....

I was medically retired (TDRL) on Sept 27, 2011 based on my IDES ratings (100%). I was under the assumption that I would get my first VA compensation payment on Nov 1, 2011. Well, it's now Dec 6 and I haven't seen a dime.

On Nov 4, the VA reopened my case to adjust the ratings on one of my minor conditions that I claimed (I was rated at 0% for my knees, I think it's going to be increased).

I guess my issue is this: WTF???? How the hell long is a guy supposed to wait? I'm at the point now that my family is starting to hurt a little bit financially. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure I'm back at the bottom of the rating "stack".

Advice from the Gods?

I think I read your previous post a while ago wernt you at drum ??? Anyway I did the des pilot program and I was under the assumption that once you etsed everything was done. I have my ratings and was told I would be getting 80% and I thought the payment would kick in the following month as well. I just got a letter today stating its in the process of deciding weather additional info is needed ? LOL wtf is that about I thought once they gave you a rating that was it beings I signed and did all my Va appts while in the Army.

Now everything is working and I can see my va letter it gives me a day of march 1 and the amount of money but I have not received any yet but its looks like things are moving forward.
