Question:
My remand says :Disability compensation appeal updated on January 4, 2020 . Status: A judge is reviewing your appeal. I received a SSOC on October 28th. I had 3 on appeal; the SSOC denied one claim. Does this mean that the other 2 were granted? I have an attorney, she however, keeps asking me for updates.
Jim's Reply:
I'm afraid that I don't have any idea what that means. Claims that turn into appeals and then are remanded for more development with partial awards and grants are near impossible to sort out without the entire case file in front of the reviewer. Cases are decided in a piecemeal fashion all too often and that means until it's completely adjudicated and the case is closed, you can't really know what the end result will be.
