Question:

How long does it take from the time you're granted entitlement from the Board of Veterans Appeals to when it receives a rating from the regional office? It went to the regional office Dec 18th 2019

In theory, your award should go to the front of the line for processing. In reality, that never happens. Depending on how much more work there is to be done on your case, it can take a month to years for the final adjudication. That it's an unpredictable process during the best of times makes it even more unpredictable during the pandemic we're enduring today. Unfortunately, there's nothing to be done but to wait.
