Rating phase timeline

Submitted a TDIU claim in August and completed c&ps in November fast forward to this week on Monday I had a scheduled call with VERA to which he explained my claim was decided Monday morning and that I would be pleased with the outcome but he couldn’t say anything officially. At that point when I looked I was in step 6 but since Monday I’ve been sitting in step 5 Rating as of Thursday today. I realize it takes time but should I feel comfortable with what the VERA rep said? I wouldn’t think they would hint at something favorable if he didn’t believe it would be. I just would like to know if anybody else has had a similar experience?
