I think I made VA mad
March 2014 I filed a claim for increase of depression and IU June 2014 It was closed in "Error" Has since been reopened as an "administrative review" 9/03/14 I received an email response from IRIS stating "records show that your file was forwarded to the supervisor of the team that processed your claim. Please allow sufficient time to process it" October 2015 I noticed (after weeks of the claim showing as "Preparation for Notification") I noticed that a development letter was sent. I did a VA Chat since I never got the letter and was told that it was it had to do with the electronic development process and a letter had not been sent by VA. …

Appeal Closed in Ebenefits
Hello, I had three apeals for effective dates close on Jan 29, 2016. I received a letter from BVA on Feb 8, 2016 stating they were granting an earlier effective date for my 100% service connection. The original effective date was 2/03/2013 and now it's 2/04/2012. So my question is how long should I expect it to take for retroactive to hit my account? I've won one other appeal through BVA in 2010 for my 50% rating and retroactive hit within 3 weeks of the claim closing. My claim is flagged with hardship. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Where the heck did it go!?
Hello, This is my first post to the site . I am wondering if anyone else has had their disabilities disappear on Ebenefits. My second claim has showed complete as of two days ago, however, two of the four disabilities I claimed are completely gone from the "Rated Disabilities" and two are showing "Not Service Connected." My picture below is from my page. The Tinnitus, bilateral hearing loss and equilibrium are all from my first claim, depression and migraines are recent. I am wondering if the two that aren't showing will be approved, and that is why two are showing up as not connected. Or if I'm just thinking too much. I have searched and searched the internet and h…

Gathering evidence phaae to claim closed
Spoiler Hello all. I have had terrible anxiety since looking at my claim on ebennies. Claim filed in January ,2016 and it has been in gathering of evidence since March and now shows claim closed.....decision letter sent. My health has declined over the last 32 years since being diagnosed with HTLV3 (HIV before it was given the name) while on active duty in 1985 and has forced me to reach out to the VA for help. Since filing my claim I have been hospitalized, lost my home to foreclosure and now I am homeless and with failing health. I asked my VSR to submit the form to the VA to see if they could expedite due to homelessness in April. …

cervical strain Cervical spine problems added as secondary to my lower back?
Going through ebenefits today to submit a claim for my neck I came to the page with all the ratings. I am rated for my lower back and have never had any secondary condition for it. Today I see 1. Cervical strain 2. Neck strain 3. Multilevel degenerative disc disease 4. Disc osteophyte complex 5. Facet Syndrome I have always had neck problems and have what I think is more than enough records while on active duty to prove it started only after I was in the military. It is documented when I enrolled into the VA but it never was something that stopped me from anything. Until last year it got a lot worse. And by the fall of last year I was having a lot of pro…
