I just got a 9K direct deposit from the VA and I’m a bit disappointed since it’s far less than I expected but I checked the portal to see my rating and it says my claim is still in process. I don’t get it. Has this happened to anyone else?

You should probably call and have someone check it for you. They have been known to make partial payments while finalizing claims. But it's also possible the portal is not reflecting the latest updates. It probably makes sense to talk to someone and get a definitive answer.

I hope it’s a partial payment, if it’s not they just gave me 30%, but you’re right I need to call.

You got back pay because the decision has been made. I got mine like a month before the website updated. The good news is that this doesn't have to be the end of the road. Downside is that it might be another stepping stone.

Seconding this. Don’t appeal just reapply. I went from 70 > 90 > 100. I wasn’t planning on resubmitting but they reached out to me at some point to ask if I’d gotten better and I was like no actually I had two more surgeries thanks for asking.
