Decision Letter Sent
Under the claim where it says Decision Letter Sent, it says "Appeal possible". None of my other claims say that. Does this mean simply that I can appeal the decision?

Back To Gathering Of Evidence Again
So my claim is now at a year and 3 months and it has moved back and forth so many times that my head is spinning. I just completed 2 more C&P exams in April and my claim finally moved to Pending Decision Approval. Then yesterday it moved back to Gathering of Evidence. I called "Peggy" and was told that it looks like an administrative matter and I should not have to have any more C&P exams. I'm tired of being told that my claim is almost finished and when I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel, the darkness sets in again. I did file for multiple contentions so I understand that takes a while but it just seems like things are stalled. Anyone have simi…

Ebenifits Link For Convelescence Pay
Hello I'm new to this forum and need some help I had recronstructive surgery yesterday 11june2014 on my right ankle, need help to apply for the 100% convelescence pay. Curently rated at 60% and have been annoyingly sent in circles to apply for the pay. I have even tried to call the regional office here in Albuquerque Nm but they only list an 800 number to call and when i do call it they tell me that i need to go online to get ahold of them. I have read here that its set up as a claim that gets the ball rolling on that pay, but my doctors all have asked me what im talking about when i ask them if they have a form to fill out to get it started. I am at my wits end h…

Are These Items Shown On Ebenefits?
Is there someplace on eBenefits that shows the items submitted, such as the forms DAV has filed along with letters in support, etc? I'd like to see exactly how everything was worded. Thanks, Kate

Ebenefits And Ro
What happens to documentation that you submit via e Benefits? Does it flow to RO? IRIS sent me an email response one time that stated rating officers had "access" to documentation that we upload. I have uploaded 200+pages, and all I have ever noticed is that upload was successful. The status of waiting for documentation never changed in eBennies to reflect my upload. So what happened?

ptsd Firefighter, Ptsd Proof Of Stressors
I was a firefighter in the airforce, I separated in 2010. I filed a claim in December of 2013 for ptsd, along with other injuries that I had while in service. I gave all my medical files when I first filed. On 3/8/14 I was schedule for my c&p exams and it said they requested proof of in service stressors from where they keep everyone's records I guess. I had my c&p exams on 4/6/14, but it's still waiting for those records for proof of stressors, and now is saying past due. My question is since my stressors are from emergencies that I responded to while being a firefighter like responding to vehicle accidents treating the occupants adults and children, almost dying…

Historical Claims Date Changes
As I continue to check ebenefits for a sign of an update on a decision I already know has been made. I noticed that dates of Date of claim and Date closed were changing in the Historical claims section. It happened once last night and again this morning. Is this a system glitch? I am hoping it is someone on the other end making changes and hopefully complete this appeal that was decided on 4/24/2014.

My Next Move
Hello everyone I am new to this website am glad I found it ! VA denied my vertigo/dizziness in Dec 2011 because they said there was no military evidence link to my illness even though I sent them copies of my military medical records stating my vertigo/dizziness with multiple dates 1996, 2001, 2005, and 2006. One from my civilian doc in 2009 when I retired. In 2013, I started seeing the VA with my illness . October 2013 I filed again and received a denial again May 2014 and did not bother to reopen it because they refer back to the Dec 2011 denied decision. Is NOD will be my next appropriate move? Thank you all!
