Estimated Completion Date
My claim for secondary conditions has been in Preparation for Decision Status for about 6 weeks now. I logged into EBeneifits after a couple weeks of being out of town and the Estimated completion date changed from October 27 - December 26 to "Estimated Completion: At this time, your Regional Office is unable to provide an estimated completion date for this type of claim." As far as I know they have everything they need to decide the claim including all pertinent medical records and the completed C&P exam documentation. I know you can't depend on EBenefits for accurate data but found it strange that the verbiage changed to what it currently reads. I'd like to kn…

Awarded TDIU after NOD filed to increase PTSD
June 209 I filed disagreement notice after denial of increase of service connected PTSD from 70%. In August 2019, I filed for TDIU and was awarded in November 2019. I have researched and researched to find a case/ruling/law that shows a veteran with similar circumstances and what the rulings were. In effect, is the VA compelled to increase 70% rating after TDIU is granted? I am happy to do more research if someone can point me the way in my request to determine what, if anything, can be learned from previous decisions. I feel very very lucky to have had the 'chips fall my way'. I also wish to thank any/all feedback

Awaiting 020 Rating Promulgation
I am currently at 20%, I put in for an increase, and because I am an optimistic person I put in for dependents (My wife & kids), I submitted the claim in September of last year.. I checked my claim this afternoon, there happened to be an update. I was just curious what "Awaiting 020 rating Promulgation" means? I googled the word Promulgation and get the vibe that my claim may be coming to an end. Any info?

Rated AND Deferred
I have just received my rating for 2 items at 20%..........Now looking at my rate, I noticed that I have 3 in deferment.....My award is the rate for 20%......What does this mean? there is no pending c&p noted on the deferred items. All it did was push my date for those items May 28- Jun 29th 2018 but I will be getting back pay from may 31 2017 for the 2 items they rated me on. But on the other hand I'm looking at this.......effective date of change.....With my other items, plus unemployable which I noted is not even listed under disabilities, but is listed under my claims.. I left out certain items intentionally since they are not what concerns me. What does all this…

E Benifits letter after claim closed
Hello, My claim closed for a increase, IU and new claim June 13, 2019. I have not gotten my BBE yet. It says please allow 7 to 10 business days for the packet. I checked E Bennies and I see a overall rating of 70%. I was 90% so I’m afraid I have been reduced. But the dollar amount for 90% is still the same. Just wondering if the letter is incorrect. I assumed that if the dollar amount did not change maybe it’s not updated yet. Have anyone experienced this ? Meanwhile I’ll be waiting for the mail.

Conditions are missing and asked about dependant
A few days ago I got a call from ebennies. When I called them back they asked me what city and state my spouse and I got married. Which is in Nigeria. I filed a claim last year, but was denied. I didn't submit this claim, but it is the same day I filed an initial claim. I am currently at 20% maybe they decided on something that brings me above 30%? In addition, I claimed back injury/back condition with some other things. I noticed that they attached scoliosis which was on appeal. Now when I check everything that was on appeal disappeared. I know dates can jump, but have never seen this. I did new x rays and everything with VES. I have an initial claim and both remand from…

Claims
I did two c&ps and was denied twice however at the last one the rater said I was incompetent. The va reopened my claim in February listing as new, but this was the same claim that was denied twice. I have called to check and was told it was something to do with the regional office but I haven't received anything from the va only that it is in the decision process. My question is why would they reopen my claim after denying it? What is your take on this?

non service connected Bipolar ?
So im looking on this e-benefits website and just browsing around and i noticed i have an old claim labeled non-service connected bipolar. Now i've never filed a claim but i was was forced to see someone for anger management post deployment in 06. is it possible a doctor put this claim in or maybe i did it while in a drunken blackout which is also entirely possible. Thoughts?
