Newark Regional Office
Has anyone had any experiences with the Newark Regional Office? I filed an FDC on January 20, 2015 and it is still listed as "Under Review" in eBenefits. I would of have thought I would have gotten a call for a C and P exam by now. I uploaded my entire service medical record all my private medical records.

tdiu E-Bennies I Hope Your Not Yanking My Chain
I am currently rated at 80% Not none of my issues are rated above 30% that are currently service connected I have been working on getting my Sleep Apnea secondary to one of a few items that "could" be causing it.

Another....what Does This Mean?
Newbie here...I submitted a fully developed claim through eBenefits for hearing loss and tinnitus. I included all necessary documentation they could possibly need. I probably went overboard with the amount of documentation I sent in which included hearing exams prior to boot camp showing perfect hearing, followed by hearing exams after deployments clearly showing sensioneural hearing loss from acoustic trauma. I included service records, award citations and military medical records to evidence the claims are in-fact service connected disabilities. I even wear (employer provided) hearing aids so I was expecting this claim to speed its way through the system. A month a…

Ab8 Letter Updated?
Hi Everyone, I've been a member for a while but don't have the experience to reply to folks questions. With that being said, I would like to know if anyone else out there has ever had their claim go to Pending Dispatch on a Saturday and wanting to know If the AB8 letter gets updated immediately or now? If so, I am screwed again as it has not changed. Am I being too anxious? It's just been so many years and this is the first time for me to get this far and wanted some feedback as to when I should see a change on the AB8 letter before getting the official decision in the mail. Any experienced advise would be very welcomed...thank you all very much!!

How Accurate Is The Ab8 Benefit Verification On Ebenefits?
Hi. I'll try and keep this short. I was curious about my claim status so I called the VA the other day. I was told that my claim is in the final verification phase and I can expect a letter in roughly 30 days or so. So I am off today and I decide to take another crack at Ebenefits. Got access to my account and did what the VA rep suggested to upgrade. Worked great. I notice that I have two claims for the same date. One is closed, the other still open. I assume an error. My claim is still in the "Gathering evidence" phase. I notice the following. Decision Notification Sent Development Letter Sent Okay. Not sure what that means, but after some exploring I check…

ptsd Applied For Iu And Increase For Ptsd On Ebenefits
Hi there I was wondering if someone can help me. Today I discovered that my overall rating was increased from 80% to 90%. They increased my PTSD rating from 50% to 70%. I also requested for Individual Unemployability but I do not see a rating for it on ebenefits. Ebenefits shows the increase in the PTSD rating and the rate but nothing about IU for or against. Is this normally done by US mail? or should I assume the IU was denied since online at ebenefits its showing the rate of 90% and the pay at 90%?? thanks in advance!
