I understand. Still awaiting for pay but it is not too far away like it was 7 years ago. But I did have the same thoughts that you have expressed. I make sure I take my cymbalta to make it all go away.

Congrats>>>>>>

You are all right. I am to blessed too be stressed now. Merry Christmas and many more awards to come for you all. Thanks for your continued support throughout these 7 years. I can truly say that without this site and others like it I would not have had the knowledge, facts, or weapons to fight this battle as hard as I did. I believe that resilience and staying focus on the end goes a long way too.

Just received Brown envelop today awarded sc for death and DIC back to 2003. The claim was on appeal and is now being returned to the WS RO for disposition. Does anyone have an idea how long this process will take? The lady said that because of the amount of the award it would take several signatures to authorize. The claim has not been sent back yet. Does the 10-40 days apply to my case?

SMC I was just wondering if my husband filed to add his heart condition in 2002 and also filed for SMC how would that affect any retro pay. At the time he filed he was gravely ill. He was rated 100% SC PTSD and he then filed his heart condition along with SMC in 2002. Scenario: Had he been granted SC for his heart and for the sake of argument he was rated 60% for the condition how would the SMC benefits be applied under Bradley vs Peake (do not know if this is cited correctly). Would they go back to the original denial apply his benefits for SC IHD and apply the SMC for the period from January 2002 to his death November 2003. And then would the DIC benefits pick up from my filing date of December 2003 when approved.

I hearing good new for the veterans but I have not heard any responses from widows or widowers. Do you think that the veteran claims will be processed first (which would be ok with me). Also I did not receive any info about my claim being nehmer but the American Legion said it was but nothing official. I called yesterday they said my claim is still on stay. Anyone else been notified of their claims still in stay. Also my claim is at the BVA. Will they handle that claim any differently that other claims.

The site is not operational at this time as of 2:30 EST

someone please tell me how you got access to your files or claims. also are you a veteran or spouse of deceased veteran. I have called everywhere trying to get access to my appeals claim and I can not find anyone who can help. I received my authencity in July and got logged in but nothing after that.

I have level 2 or Premium Account Status. I am the widow of veteran does that make a difference

Can some tell me how are you seeing the status of your claims on e-benefits. I have had access since July but still do not see anything regarding my claims. Can someone help me.

Could you clarify. The last correspondence I recieved from VA had a refer to number of 014DS333. Do you know what this number is in reference to?

I just finished listening to Ken Carpenter and he states that in 1956 there was a statue put into law that if a claim was made for SS than the system was to automatically generate a claim for VA. But of course some one by the name van balkenburg had to go to court to get the ball rolling. From what I understand the Court directed the va to correct this mistake. I am not sure if I am wording this right. But in my instance when my husband passed away I began to recieve his SS death benefits along with my son. At the time I was unemployed and qualified. From what I understand that this is more than evidence to generate a DIC back to the date that I started receiving death benefits from SS. Has anyone else heard of this or listened to the training that Ken conducted on DIC back in Feb 2010?

I too was told that a letter was mailed on August 17, 2010 stating my claim in on "stay" status. It was at the BVA and almost assigned to the judge. I am fighting for direct connection but I take the presumption only if it goes back to EED of December 2003 which is the date I originally filed my claim for sc death due to secondary IHD and PTSD. My husband passed away in November 2003. I am so tired of this. But I am hanging in there because I know the victory is mine.

congrats

I want to ask if on ebenefits if your claim has not been assigned to a judge does it not show a status. I have checking for the last week but it still shows not activity.
