Ebenefits Authorization Review?
I'm looking through Ebenefits and I clicked on the Compensation and Pension Caim Status as I was trying to familiarize myself with the system and to my surprise there is a entry under historical claims that is titled "Authorization Review". I have no idea what this is and whatever it is I certainly didn't initiate it. Does anyone have an idea of what this is? Thank you, Green These are the only details available on the site: Details of Your Claim Claim Received: 02/2012 Claim Type: Authorization Review Claim Closed: 03/2012

Typical Iris Response To Questions
This is my response to recent VA IRIS email sent to me. It is replete with errors that IRIS and VA has made. Went to IRIS website and noticed that my claim, originally filed in July 2012, is now showing closed with no appeal, no nothing.! WTF. I received this response from IRIS and have questions about it. Response from IRIS: Our records currently show your appeal is a traditional appeal. We received your Notice of Disagreement (NOD) on October 7, 2014. NOT CORRECT! THIS SHOULD BE OCTOBER 7, 2013. Your appeal will be reviewed under the traditional appeals process. Right now, your appeal is awaiting that review. If we need additional information, we will contact …

Ebenifits Updates

Where Can I View Uploaded Items?
After uploading documents to ebenefits, where can you see them at? I think when I uploaded it said they would be viewable after they were looked at but not sure where I can look for them. How long should it take before I will be able to see them? Just want to make sure the item is in my file. Any other way to know? Thanks Kate

Fast One
The VA pulled a fast one. When I applied for a increase for all items I am receiving compensation for they sent me for a appointment for back only. I went to the appointment and when I looked in Ebenefits and new claim was put in with a different effective date. It show claim and closed. I barely received the decision letter yesterday and they called it a recent VA examination instead of a claim. I know for a fact that it was a new claim. The good thing is they added on 20% for another back rating but the bad thing is it did not increase overall rating. Also they tried to say my back has improved through recent evidence , sustained improvement has not been definitv…
