I had my physical in the early part of December, and have noticed on the website that it almost instantly went into review of evidence. I know there is typically a wait, and I don't effectively retire until 28 February, so I have time, but it would be nice information to have for financial planning.

It sounds like you did the Pre Discharge Program. This is where you do all your VA medical on your way out of the military.
To give you an idea of the timeline, my last day in the Army was 30 JAN 2016, the retirement date of 01 FEB 2016. By March I had a desition done, I received a letter in April, payments began in May with some back pay.

it's been a while. but i think i had the rating for my shoulder before i started my terminal leave and then i got the rating for my skin shortly after i my retirement date. this was back in 2005 so i don't know how quickly they get processed now.

Good afternoon Sir......... The VA process is a lot quicker now for Soldiers than in years past. They normally try to have your ratings done prior to you getting out... I think soldiers go through BDD program now which allows them to file VA claims 180 to 90 days out from retirement or separation... Once you are out of service and try to do VA claims, that's when the sit and wait game begin........ So you should have your ratings prior to your 28 February retirement date..........
