In my case it was Step 6 SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL because VFW had already submitted all of my medical evidence. I was initially rated at 70% but VA did not ant to pay me anything. The VA didn't budge until my Congressman's [Frank Wolf] office provided the VA with my detailed record of corresponsive and evidence. Then they became receptive to talking with me and coming to an agreement.

LTC Stephen F. wow, I appreciate you sharing, I might have to go down that road myself. Will keep you in mind for advise on a Congressional if it warrants.

Mine seemed like Under review was longest. It was several months until my C&P exams were scheduled. After that it was fairly quick.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL - I actually got my letter of dcision in the mail before my ebenefits status changed. I thinks that it's a good way to track it but like the rest of the VA, it takes some time to catch up.
