ptsd Dependent Showing up as on Award while Claim is Prepped for Notification and no Rating?
Ok so I am wondering if it's a good sign or not that I am showing up as a Dependent "On his Award"(in the dependents area of ebenes) but, he is not showing up with any rating on ebenefits yet? Has anyone ever not shown up with a rating and been at the "Prepped for Notification" stage? This is his first FDC for PTSD, hearing loss, and tinnutus. He had an Excellent C and P for the PTSD where the Psychologist stated the magic "It is as likely as not that his "'Severe PTSD"" was caused by his service in Vietam.

Should I Be Concerned?
Today my claim moved from Prep for Decision, Pending Decision Approval, Prep for Notification, to Claim Complete in a matter of a few hours(about 8). Not that I do not like the lightening speed it has moved since Monday after the VA received the report back from the OTC on C&P results, yet what worries me is nothing has changed with my AB8 letter. Is this possibly a good sign I will be filing a NOD soon via having been denied or is just a matter of it not being updated as it moved so fast and completed so near the closing of business day? I know I will have to wait on the BBE but just curious on what others may make of this or have experienced similar situations where…

Anyone else having issues with ebenefits?
As the title states. Is anyone having issues with ebenefits? It's not letting me access the apply for new claims section, and when I try to look at my "Disabilities" section it isn't working either. Disabilities section states: "We cannot retrieve your information at this time. Please try again later. We apologize for the inconvenience." The apply for new errors out and says: " Application ErrorWe're sorry, but the application has encountered an error. Please try again later or contact the VA at 1-800-827-1000. Please refer to the following error code: VDC-1439667528551"

Claim Completed And Shows View Appeal Status/ No Benefit Verification Update
Claim Submitted 5/28/15 and Completed 8/7/15.Claim was on Preparation for approval for 29 days and pending for decision approval for 3 days then jumped to completed right after. No update on the VA letters neither. Claim was for only one service connected disability (secondary). What do you guys think about this entire phase? and of course the VA wont tell me anything over the phone. Decision letter sent 08/10/15.
