tdiu Status Change After Submitting 21 4140
I checked ebenefits last night and it says I am under review, because status changed. Is this normal? I submitted 21 4140, first one I have seen after 13 years 100% TDIU. I was honest and put down I worked 13 hrs last year and made 350.00. I was trying to get out of the house. I worked for a friend of mine who knows my condition. I don't leave the house more than two days a week max. Now I am very stressed about this. Lesson learned

Secondary Action Screening.

E-Benefits, Appeal Timeline
On E-Benefits "appeal detail" page, under timeline of your appeal. It shows appeal pending and BVA next to it. If I requested a DRO review should it say something other than BVA?

New E-Benefits Platform
Whoa doggie. Keep your seats in the upright position and sinch that seatbelt tight. Looks like they gave Ebennies a facelift. I have been playing with it accessing different information and from what I have noticed the new platform has a lot of cosmetic changes. One thing I do not like is that the evidence list is no longer there. It only shows what evidence you submitted in your claim after January 25, 2015. Why am I not surprised. I guess I will give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe the information will be listed elsewhere but so far I have not found it. Convenient I think. I have a feeling this is just going to make things more complicated. A…

Weary Of E-Benefits Requests.
I don't know how many people have had this happen to them but I thought I should mention it on this forum. Something is amiss here. I have a few claims that have been decided on and other that I filed NOD's for. I got tired of the games and I sought the help of an Attorney. This is now the second time that requests for information have been made through E-bennefits without going through my rain maker. From what I understand of the law and what my attorney has stated this is illegal. They must go through my attorney and Ebenefits is not a proper avenue to request anything from a claimant. There is just not a real record to trace this as it can be edited by t…

When Does Va Payment History Update?
I am curious as to when the payment history updates. I was recently awarded 90 percent and should get my first monthly check on the first. I was curious as to how soon before the check is authorized for direct deposit before it will show on there? Also, will I catch my retro pay there or in my bank first you think? I am mainly wondering about the update for monthly compensation but also if my retro will show on there as well.Thank you for taking the time to respond.

ptsd Rating Reduction?
I was looking on Ebenefits last night and noticed under the letters section that is says I am up for a rating reduction on July 1st. News to me. I will have had my rating for six years at that point. 50% PTSD, 10% hearing, 10% shoulder and 0% for my knee for a 60% award. I stopped my PTSD treatments a little over two years ago for a couple reasons. Every time I went all the psychiatrist wanted to do was shove pills down my throat. At one point he had me on a cocktail of pills that had me like a space cadet. Another time the pills he gave me had me messed up with behavior issues and lost my job and was out of work for two years. Then all the reports came out about the …

Ebennies "update Frequency"
How often is eBennies updated? I opened a claim informally by phone on June 30, 2014. My VSO submitted the fully-developed claim November 17, 2014 and as yet the VA is still in evidence gathering mode (where it was before we submitted the claim). The VSO said it takes about 23 days for a contractor to scan in the claim and submit it to the VA. Does it make sense to check twice daily.... or do they update once a day... once a month? Thanks for any insight into this mystery.
