ptsd Scheduled For Reduction Missing
Scheduled for reduction missing from my AB8 letter. There was a line that said reduction in 2020 and one that said not permanent. Now when I look at the AB8 letter it only shows the 90%. I was told by my social worker that they changed my MDD to PTSD with MDD so I wonder if either it's being updated or that because of the PTSD it's no longer temporary. I have not received anything from the VA yet to know for sure. There was also a second letter there that is now missing so maybe I am wrong about it being on the AB8 letter. Any ideas? Thanks diver

A New York Compensation Claim Confusion,please Help Me
Hi, everyone. I am brand new for this forum and I have a few questions about my compensation application. Please help me and thank you very much in advance ! I received the brown envelope on 03/20/15 from the DAV. I am assigned 20% for my back and the other two claims were 0%. But under each section it shows"the final evaluation of this condition is deferred pending receipt of private treatment records." I am so confused with this letter because I am sure all my private doctors had faxed out my medical records a month ago and I got the money for my compensation 2 weeks ago. I also received a letter from DVA on 03/09/15 stated they had not received response from my d…

Ab8 Timeline
i have been searching for specific info regarding the AB8 letter. what im looking for is a time table that the AB8 gets generated in ebbenies or at least gets posted. my position is, claim decided 03/12/15 letter sent (according to 800#) 03/12/15... as of yet nothing has changed my AB8 letter and i know that if i was granted at least 10% my combined should go to 56 so then rounded would be 60% from now 50% and that should be on a AB8 letter. just wondering if i actually have any hopes to a win. problem for me is, i have always seen AB8 changes on decision date. any good thoughts out there ?

E-Benefits And Rating Decision...need Help
Hello all, I've browsed these forums many times, through many claims with the VA, but now i'm in a situation I could use some advice and I'm having a real difficult time reaching my VSO. In 2010 I was granted Non-Service Connected Pension for being Housebound with a psychiatric condition, of course this is not what I was hoping for as my conditions were triggered in military service and followed me long after to this date. In 2011, I filed a claim for service-connected compensation on the same conditions and was denied service-connected again. In mid to late 2012 I finally was granted Social Security Disability, and after receiving an automated letter from the VA sta…

Question Regarding Dependents With Claim
My claim completed today after 5 months ( I know it was quick) and on the AB8 letter is shows single rate comp instead of dependent rate. How can I tell if my dependents are in the system? Is that just a formality and I will be getting the dependent rate or will I have to fix it?

ptsd Claim Confusion
I am a little confused as whats going on with my claim so I'm hoping you guys will be able to assist me decipher what is going on. I filed my intial claim on 10/10/2014. I added a contention on 01/02/2015 for PTSD. The PTSD populated in Ebenefits around 01/10/2015 and disappeared ~01/25/2015 from Ebenefits. I called the 1800 number and the person I spoke with advised me to put it another claim online and I did on 02/17/2015. I completed all C&P exams on 2/18, 2/19 (PTSD), and 2/23.

Filing A Claim Through Ebenefits Or Regular Mail
Hi HadIt. I would like some input on the best way to file a claim. In your opinion is using ebenefits user friendly or is it best to just mail a claim in. I know that if mailing in a claim I should be sure to send it registered and request a return receipt to verify that it has been received by the VA. Also, does ebenefits have a file upload limit. I have maybe 100 pages of documents to send. Would it be best if I scan all 100 sheets together to be sent to ebenefits at the same time or should I break the documents down and scan may 50 pages at a time and send it in that way. Thanks for any response and suggestions you may have. godelocs

Location Assignment Of New Claims Filed In E-Benefits?
My claims with the RO that I was dealing with have now been closed. My understanding is that I can now open a new claim and it would be opened int he location I currently am? I'm just really trying not to get the same RO. Call it a bad omen, bad luck or whatever, but I have had some really bad mistakes from them and want to avoid at all costs opening a new claim and having it being assigned to the Honolulu RO. Does anyone have some insight into how they are assigning new claims opened in e-benefits? I have everything electronic, so it's easy for me, but if I need to do it on paper at the local RO i would do so. Thoughts?

Back To Vso
Hi everyone I had posted a while back about my feelings regarding my board hearing. I mentioned that the judge seemed to really concerned about my case taking 12 years to adjudicate. I soon learned on ebennies that she actually moved my claim up on the docket even before she left Saint Petersburg Fl. Today I learned that my claim moved back to the VSO there in Washington. What does this mean and should I be worried about that and how do I contact that office up there to see what kind of argument they will make on my behalf. My claim arrived at the BVA on 1/25/2015 went to VLJ the very next day. Any thoughts on this will certainly comfort me.
