1. % Rating assigned but eBenefits shows "Not service connected"

   Hello, I hope someone here can help me. My claim for hearing lost was denied a few months ago. Ebenefits showed "Not Service Connected" just like the other claims that were denied. I am SC for PTSD and have ED due to the medication I am taking. So, I filed ED as secondary to PTSD and had the C&P exam a few weeks ago. Today, I log into eBenefits and I see that the previously denied (closed) claim of hearing lost how shows in the Rating column "0%" but then next to it "Not Service Connected". The "0" wasn't there before. The claim for ED as secondary to PTSD shows "Not Service Connected". My questions are: 1) Is it normal to have a rating and…

6. Higher Level Review for Sleep Apnea secondary to Allergic Rhinitis.

   Hello all, I am new to the forums and looking for some guidance. I was denied service connection for sleep apnea through a claim that provided a Physicians Assistant nexus letter and dbq linking sleep apnea to my service connected conditions of allergic rhinitis, hypertension and bilateral plantar fasciitis. I went with the higher level review route and now my VA.gov site shows: The Veterans Benefits Administration is correcting an error During their review, the senior reviewer identified an error that must be corrected before deciding your case. If needed, VA may contact you to ask for more evidence or to schedule a new medical exam. …

   Has anyone noticed that the award date format for SC disabilities has changed? An award date under eBenefit.gov used to be 4/10/09 now has changed to 10/4/09? Since when has the VA moved to the EU date format?

9. Ebenefits VS. VA.Gov

   Hi Everyone I wanted to know does the ebenefits site and the VA.gov site update at the same time. The reason I ask is because I checked on Saturday and the case was still open but this morning I log in and it says that it closed on Friday the 26th. So I go over to ebenefits and check there and the condition I was trying to get a rating for still says non-service connected. I was wondering has anyone seen this be updated later on after the case has closed.

13. Intent to file

    When you have an open intent to file, is it possible to add 2 disabilities into the itf even if they are unrelated like ptsd and asthma ? Is see that there is an option to select multiple disabilities but when you upload evidence it won't allow you to upload documents to each disability and clumps them all together. Is there anyway to organize these documents like numbering them or providing a lay statement letting them know which pages belong to which disability. Thanks yall

16. Comp & Pen details tab

    Just wondering what this might mean on va. gov, comp and pen is showing Awaiting Release of funds- SSD and details show Attorney Fee Memo- AAFC Authorized Award (New). I use DAV as my Rep. I don’t understand SSD, is it possible the DAV signed me up for Social Security Disability? Just wondering what all this means, could be an old lawyer just trying to squeeze more money out of me!
