Can anyone post their experience as far as how long after their retirement date the case status updated on VA.gov and whether ebenefits ever showed their disabilities percentage on the diabilities page? Also, does the VA ever actually send letters out? I got my proposed ratings from the VA during the IDES process but it's now nearly 3 weeks after my retirement date and my case still shows it's in the decision stage. I called as well and am being told they don't see it as closed yet and they can't give me any more information.
