'Appeal Possible' Option On Ebennie
Has anyone else ever had an appeal move to the historical section and be closed out with a decision letter sent but not have the appeal possible option too? I just had a DRO appeal close but there's no appeal possible option. Every time I have had a decision letter sent before on a claim it said appeal possible along with it. I'm hoping this might mean a full grant. I know it is still possible to appeal a full grant decision but it's strange that every claim before had it say 'decision letter sent, appeal possible'. Thanks for sharing your guy's thoughts on this.

Ebenefits says Decision Letter Sent, Appeal Closed
I am 556 days into my NOD. Ebenefits says that my appeal for ratings increase and IU was closed at the RO Dec 18 and a decision letter was sent on the 18th. On the 22nd I called the 1000 hotline and went to the RO in person, both said no letter was sent and my appeal was still in progress. The RO said that the appeal was sitting on a rating supervisors desk and should be done soon. They have received my new private Doctor IME report and all my service treatment records and don't need any new evidence. I had an informal hearing with the DRO in April and received an SOC in May. My questions is why would Ebennie say that my appeal s closed with a letter sent but the RO …

Using Ebenefits to file New Claim
I wanted to file a claim for HBP presumptive to AO, but the process on Ebenefits asks many weird questions such as "Are you applying for TDIU"? I already have TDIU . I don't know how to answer that question. They it popped up with "you don't need to apply for PTSD since you already have it". According to the VA I am not being treated for PTSD but for depression and anxiety which is SC. I feel like I am walking through a minefield so I have avoided Ebenefits. I know how the VA can really screw up a claim and send me to a proctologists for a PTSD exam and cut my rating. They once sent my TMJ claim to a psychiatrist and he did not know what to do.

E Benefits Recently Changed The Password Requirements.
E benefits recently changed the password requirements. Now it can't have ANY words in it. I've even tried foreign-language words and those didn't work for me either. It basically has to be One uppercase letter, one lower case letter-then a few numbers and a few special characters. Something like Ka333&&&? would work. Every few months, Ebenefits wants the user to change their password so this is just a heads up. Certainly wait to change your password until Ebenefits tells you you have to.

VETS.GOV AND EBENEFITS.GOV
How often are these sites updated? Also do you get decisions before the sites are updated? Just curious for claims and appeals. Are they updated the same or differently?

Ebenefits Uploads For Claims
I filed a Claim in Jult 12 to increase my current 30% for HTN, send hard copies in 2012, then in 2013 health got worse, 3 instaces of CHF, hospitalized twice, cardiac ablation. I was bedridden from April-June! And decided to upload my documentation to VA via eBenefits to support my claim. First checked wih IRIS to see if this was feasible, and got email saying yes. my claim was denied and no mention of my 2013 documentation in my narrative letter. Has anyone else had a similar experience where you submit some documentation via mail and some via eBenefits?

Probably a dumb question.
I have been a long time reader of this group, and its kept my hope up, and shared some happiness knowing others are getting the help they need. Well here is my long story short, i filed for benefits aproximately 12 years after my initial contract, and only 6 years after I was discharged from beimg recalled. I did my paper work, and only claimed issues that truly happened while I was in the Army, and everything corresponded with my medical records. Everything was denied, except tinnitus. Which I was expecting from all the stories I read. So i filed my nod. Fast forward to 6 months ago I finally got to see my first doctors. 3 in one day. Each one agreed it was service r…
