UPDATE: My claim went to 'PREPARATION FOR DECISION'
HI All, I just checked ebenefits and my claim went from Gathering of Evidence to Prep for Decision. I submitted intent to file on 8/2016, submitted my fully developed claim with all records and diagnosis needed on 7/2017, had a C&P for re-evaluation for Asthma, Sleep Apnea, Bronchiecstatis, Restrictive Lung Diesease, Aspergilliosis on 7/19/2017 at QTC, had another C&P for Mental Health (Anxiety) on 8/9/2017 at QTC. Today, 9/1/17, it was changed to Prep for Decision. I just wanted to share the update on my claim with my fellow vets, since this website has helped me a lot and there a lot of good people helping vets here. Granted it was a re-…

Quick Turn Around in E-Benefits
Have a question. I submitted a claim in E-Benefits for secondary for both my left hip and left foot (due to left discrepancy), which is SC. The plantar fasciitis in my foot was diagnosed by the VA and my hip was diagnosed by a civilian doctor. I uploaded all my VA medical and personal doctors medical evaluation and documents along with a copy of my service medical records. My question is why this was done so fast as my initial claim was put into E-Benefits on 08/02/2017 and now I see its already in the "Preparation for Notification" phase. Also under disabilities claimed it states "mqas review - recoupment adjustment (New)". I did get an SSB payment when I left the serv…

I thoulght if you get paid, e-benefits would be updated to complete prior to them sending out compensation... any experience or thoughts to t…

EBenefits end of month?
Had a PTSD/MST claim in for another vet since May. 2 weeks ago, did C&P exam, and up to yesterday EB has been Gathering Evidence. Yesterday they went to Pending Decision. This AM they were Pending Decision Approval, and this PM they are Prep for notification. Anyone seen VBA move that fast before or is this a rush to meet end of month deadlines? Also, FYI, VBA-21-0845 form allows the VA to disclose info about the claim to me. This way I can when she is set up w/EB acct, I can call peggy about her claim when she has ?'s that need answers I dont have.

Put in for IU and a few other conditions
I put in for a few conditions in May. At the same time I also put in for IU, since I lost my job because of my service connected disabilities. Now I know ebennies isn't very reliable, but I went there to check the status to see if I was getting close. It moved from "pending decision" to "pending decision approval". I then checked my letters to see what they say it the letter shows that I was reduced to 80% from 90%. UGH. Should I be concerned? I know I have to wait for the decision letter, but any way I can find out whats going on. I called peggy and they said I should have a letter by the 20th.

Second request: Medical Opinion Needed??? Anxiety secondaty to Respiratory Disease
Good Afternoon, I recently noticed an update on my Ebenefits account re: My claim for Asthma, Bronchiecstasis, Aspergilliosis, Sleep Apnea and Anxiety... I had a c & P exam already (7/19/2017), and per the VA, they already have the progress notes from the doctor and the VA has reviewed it...C & P results received at the VA 8/1/17, and they reviewed them 8/11/17. Now they updated my claim to: REQUEST #2 from VA Facility. When I called to see if there is anything I can do, or if another C&P is needed, they told me not to worry, because that is an internal request and they are requesting a medical opinion. But I just recei…

Decision after BVA hearing
What is the timeline for getting a decision if a disability is service connected AFTER a BVA hearing? Not when the RO rates the decision. Had my hearing on 8/1, can't find any info on the subject. Is it true that the VLJ can only handle 15 cases at a time, and that starts once the hearing is held? Thank you.
