Claim back to Step 5 after 0% migraines + sinus/rhinitis denial (TERA evidence)

Quick question for anyone who’s been through something similar.

•	Jan 30: Decision letter

•	Migraines granted at 0% (lack of frequency)

•	Rhinitis & sinusitis denied for “lack of exposure,” despite TERA/IES evidence already in my file

•	Jan 31: VA completed an IMO (record review only)

•	Feb 3–5: New DBQs added (Headaches, Rhinitis, Apnea/secondary)

•	Claim moved back through Evidence Review and is now again at Step 5 (Rating)

•	No new evidence requested; exams marked “no longer needed.”

Has anyone seen a decision change after this?

How long did it take once it returned to Step 5?

Thanks.
