I havenÔÇÖt noticed a temp jurisdiction assigned since EGR. Filed for increase for thoracolumbar ddd as well as bilateral lower extremity neuralgia secondary to the degeneration in my back. Anyone have any suggestions as to check the status or why it has been sitting at PFD for nearly two months? I have arranged an appointment with VERA in a week and a half, does the 800 number provide any information to put my mind at ease in the meantime.
