Ebenefits Question
I thought a decision was made on 1/8/15 but never received anything. Was hoping someone here can decipher this for me. Looking at my account it looks like my appeal was last with the RO on 1/8/15. However i got an iris email this morning saying as of 1/23/15 its still at the BVA. Listed below are notes on my account and the email i received. Shouldn't I have received something in writing by now? Any info/oponion would greatly be appreciated. 05/25/2013 Certification of Appeal RO 06/17/2013 Received by BVA BVA 06/17/2013 Administrative Case Processing BVA 06/18/2013 With VLJ BVA 06/21/2013 With VLJ BVA 06/26/2013 With VL…

Disconnect Between E-Benefits And Actual Status
Good afternoon everyone. E-benefits still lists my claim as Gathering of Evidence. However, via the webchat last week with a random VA person, they stated that the claim was in the Preparation for Decision phase. So I guess my question is, which one is correct, E-Benefits or the chat person? Is there a lengthy time gap between when a claim changes status and when that change is reflected in E-Benefits. This is an FDC disability claim that was filed in November 2013. C&P exams were completed in late March/early April this year, moving the claim from Preparation for Decision to GOE. Thank you all for your help. This board helps keep the sanity in check!

Guidance? Advice? Something?
First I want to apologyze if I am about to ask a question thats been asked a million times on here. I tried doing a little research myself on the internet and I have read dozens of similar posts on this issue. But Im hoping I can get a perspective of someone with something similar going on or maybe someone with a little more knowledge of how it works or what to expect at this point. I filed back on 28OCT2014 and since then not a whole lot has happened I havent been scheduled any exams I did send any medical records I could get a hold of to the VA when I filed. This was also back when it didnt show what you actually sent like now but I did look at account activity and acco…

Long Time No Type
I received my IU in Jan of 15, then I get a call about a C&P on June 3rd, check e-bennies and it says, review for entitlement for ch35 benefits, discovered during award promulgation, the mental health doc said I had total and social occupational impairment and that it was permanent during IU exam, but the left my MDD and anxiety at 70%, so any idea what this all means. Thanks, Jeff

tdiu Ebenefits Claim Status Completed Something New Added
Hi I'm new to this: I put in for depression due to SC conditions. On ebenefits it shows completed and now the part where it said depression due to SC conditions also says individual unemployability (new) and I just wondered what that meant. I didn't put in for IU I am 90% before this claim was put in. Thanks Hate to post in two places but no reply on other board. Sorry

Frustrated
Checking Ebennies today and noticed a flag that says that " requested documents are past due" ? I do not recall any request for documents, unless they are talking about my canceled C&P. It was canceled because I had been admitted to the VA hospital. It ha been over 1 month since it had requested it be rescheduled. It is so frustrating that a simple phone call could solve a problem and it cannot be done! I have sent 2 IRIS messages and called the case management line without any response. #$@&^*(^%$

Unsolicited Evidence = Congressionals?
Has anyone had "Congressionals" added as a document under unsolicited items on their claim? The only thing I can think of is an email I sent to BGen Hickey but my issue was resolved and it wasn't a congressional inquiry. The case is still pending but I already knew it would take some time.

Scheduled For Future Reduction?
Was just checking my ebennies to see if and or what is new different exciting or same-same. Saw on my benefits summary letter this interesting statement; You are considered not permanantly disabled due to my SCDs because I am scheduled for review on April 1st, 2020. Also said; You are considered not permanantly disabled due to my SCDs because I am scheduled for future reduction in ratings on April 1st, 2020. Are they yanking my chain, or what?
