I made a post way back similar. Sorry if this is redundant.

My application for Military Disability Benefits has finally (only 32 weeks since submission) reached final review.

I am eager to know others' experiences with this.

(1) what was the decision and if turned down what were the reasons given?
(2) what kind of award were you given (lump sum? pension? retraining?)?
(3) has your award been affected by the Phoenix Pay scandal?

Any other information you can provide would be most helpful. My experience trying to get any kind of information from VAC has been atrociously awful.
