Requested Documents Overdue? Please assist!
Good morning. I just checked my EBENEFITS and there is a note in there that states the requested documents are overdue. When I received my development letter there were no documents that was requested from me. When I go to the tab that states what documents are needed by me there is no documents that are needed. Is this a standard response that they put in for a FDC?

What just happened to my claim?
So I went through my whole C&P and saw that there was a status on my e-benefits that said it was pending decision approval. I literally went camping for four days and then came back and checked to see if the status has changed and it did. It was not even there. It was blank as if they dropped my case or as if it never happened. I received no notification through the mail, no email messages, and my rating has not changed and my disabilities say they were last examined back in 2012. What is going on?

HA Batteries Customs taxes
I hope that this is the right forum. I live in Germany, not retired, and have just received my first set of hearing aids. I have registered my hearing aids with the DALC and the FMP program. I received notice, via UPS that the package is being held up at customs, in Gemany, (Just ordered them yesterday!) I called the local german customs and was informed of the following: 1.anything valued over Euro 22.00 will be charged an added value tax of 19% a. this includes the postage! I will be informing the DALC and FMP program about this. The DALC said they would send a larger supply of batteries (in my case 3 time 60 batteries) to help me out. …

Does Anyone Have Any Idea What Development Letter Sent Means?
My claim was closed yesterday and in eBenefits in updates it says: Appeal is Possible Decision Notification Sent Development Letter Sent <------ Does anyone know what this letter is included for? What it may say, or it's purpose? I've done some searching on HADIT but every mention is just text copy pasted into a paragraph not Germaine to asking what the letter means/says. So, if anyone has one, or has recently seen one I'd be greatful if you could post a small brief explanation. I went from 50% to 100% P&T. Thanks!

ptsd Confused
3 weeks ago I received a phone call from the VRO asking if I was still in danger of becoming homeless or if I was homeless already. After telling him that i was still in imminent danger of becoming homeless he informed me that they were finding in favor of my claim and i should hear within a week, two days went by and ebenefits changed from waiting on decision approval to gathering evidence. I received another phone call and I was scheduled for a cnp exam for secondary claims that I had been seen for before about 8 months ago. The next week my claim went to pending approval again then closed 4 days ago. Ebenefits shows no rating increase for my PTSD and all of the seconda…

ptsd 100% P&t
good afternoon everyone.. so i just checked my benefits and i found out that i was awarded 100% P&T. i had a 10% disability due to Tinnitus, and now with the last claim (PTSD) having been approved, i've gone up to 100% P&T. i know if you're 100% P&T for mental is just like IU, it prevents you from working, but what if you had another disability (like in my case), would you still be able to work? or you can't because the PTSD is the more severe disability.

Decision date keeps bouncing around
I've been in preparation for decision for over a month. My decision date keeps bouncing around. 2 weeks ago my claim was to completed on the 27th of June. Since about last week my claim was scheduled to be completed the 22nd of June (tomorrow). I logged on today to check the status and it still reflects preparation for decision. Their is also an error message that said "dependency claim processing is undergoing maintenance and claim updating may take over a week". Contacted ebenefits customer support and they said all claims will be effected. They couldn't advise if this would be through the regional side of things as well. They gave me the regional office number to…

returned payments Payment History: Returned Payments? (what is this?!)
Hello again Vets. So today I was sifting through E-Benefits, and entered the 'Payment History' section. I looked through all the Post 9/11 Payments and MGI Active Duty payments and seen all the times I've gotten my GI Bill check. Then I click on the 'Returned Payments' portion and.... WTF? There are 6 separate entries under the tab. All between the years of 2008-2009, totalling about $7,500 - is this money that was sent to me and I can reclaim? Here's what I am seeing: Date Amount Type Method Returned Date 11/30/2009 $1,150.00 Post-9/11 GI Bill …

Pending Decision Approval
I filed a increase for three S/C conditions. On the day of my C&P exam my status updated from gathering evidence to preparation for decision on 5/25. The estimated completion phase Was at that time 5/27. On the day of the 27th I checked my account again and saw they changed the estimated completion date to 6/8 - 6-27. But the phase was still in prep for decision. I feel like this is a longer time than usual to be in this phase. On my previous claims I was only in this phase for 1-2 weeks. Are these updates accurate? Seems like a long wait time to have on an increase request for 3 conditions.
