Ebenefits and vets.gov
Shows historical claim of ihd. It reads “ihd also claimed as mitral regugatation and valvular heart disease, and scar.” Reopen. Ok hubby had claim in in 2009 for aortic valve problem, which was denied. It was looked at by nehmer, brokered out to Ronoake, etc.. they showed it reopened on ebenefits etc but we never got any paper work on it, back then. My question is if they are including it as part of the ihd claim, why didn’t we get paid at the 100 percent rating for a period afte his surgery for replacement of the valve and that is when they found the cads?

Is eBenefits up to date
First time post, long time viewer. Quick question. Is eBenefits typically up to date? For example, my TBI claim is in the prep for decision phase, and has been for some time. Will I see an update on eBenefits before I get something in the mail, or are the chances high that I will randomly receive an envelope in the mail with the VA's decision before the site even updates? Seems like i check at least five times a day for an update. Or, is this another "case by case" or "depends on the region" etc. Thanks. Btw, love this blog/forum. Waiting has made me nearly insane, but I have a little hope after reading some of the success stories and other vets' stories…

Still 40% why?
They closed one of my claims today and ebenefits still says I have 40% but for my disability list says I have 10% for hearing, 10% High Blood Pressure, 20% for Scars and 30% for my left knee replacement as of 08/21/2018, but it's saying I only get 40% the VA rep did the math and I should have at least been awarded 60% so does anyone know why the VA still has me at 40%. I have not received my letter yet explaining why I'm still at 40% rating. I think I found why because when you have a knee replacement scars are covered in the 30% so I think thats why they took the 20% away for scars on my knee. Also I called and the VA to ask the question since I had another knee re…

Attorney Fee status...
My attorney fee went from prep of notification with a development letter sent out back to gathering evidence. With a complete date of 12-14-2018 to 01-18-2019.... This claim is for backpay that my lawyer won at the BVA with no remands. Could this new completion date just be a 'dummy' date for that stage? I don't see how it could take that long. A few days ago the #800 said they were waiting on a final signature.

Question Regarding "request For Decision" Button On The Claim Details Page
Hoping someone with more Ebenefits experience than I have can answer a question. I filed an expedited claim for 5 secondary conditions. According to Ebenefits the status is currently "Under Review". On the Claim Details page there is a block of text with a link or button (don't know for sure because I'm unsure if I should push it) that says: Ask VA to Decide Your Claim You can request to have your claim evaluated as soon as possible, if you have no other documents or evidence to provide VA. VA will evaluate your claim without waiting for additional evidence. I thought this was what I was doing when I submitted the fully developed claim. Am I supposed to c…

Status Change in eBenefits - some of claim done, other part back to gathering evidence?
I just logged on to eBenefits to check my claim. It went back to gathering evidence, but then I checked my VA letter and I had a 10% (New) disability for a skin condition. I had submitted disability for migraines, and my skin condition. eBenefits says it is in gathering evidence, but also says decision letter sent. Should I interpret this as the skin condition being favorable, while the headaches are gathering more evidence? Or am I reading this wrong?
