ptsd Prison Match Review
Ok, checked ebennies today for husband's status. History: original claim for PTSD, Tinnitus, Hearling Loss, Elbow and TDIU filed 07/2010, decided 08/2011 with 60%. Request for Reconsideration filed 08/2011 and increase granted 05/2012 with TDIU deferred. My Question is: WTF is a Prison Match Review???? This was not listed as on open claim the last time I checked, however, it now lists like a closed claim and states that is was opened on 07/09/12 and closed on 08/16/12. It lists all of the claim documents EXCEPT the TDIU application. Tried to google and only came up with some mumbo-jumbo about SSA and VA Prison Match worksheet. The TDIU has been contemplate…

My Thoughts On Ebenefits
For the record, this post and the information below,is to show some of my disappointment's with the features,data provided and inaccuracies I find when accessing ebenefits. Below is shown under my Compensation & Pension Claim Status on ebenefits. 1) This issue has been under Appeal for well over 10 years. BVA sent this issue back to the VARO - not under remand but under instruction to take action on the issue, as if it has never been addressed or denied, NOD submitted, Decision as a result of DRO Hearing negated to mention this issue. The issue is listed on my I-9 Substantial Appeal, the issue is discussed at two separate BVA Hearings . . . and this is wh…

My Hubsband's Claim Has Went From Pending Decision To Under Review...what's Going On?
My hubby's claim has been pending since 12/2007. He got his unofficial letter from DAV on 07/2012 stating he would be getting a total of 40%...retro-pay for 30%. The Ebenefits claim status was Pending Decision Approval on 6/07/12......well today 8/03/2012 the status is Under Review with a estimated claim completion date of 11/05/2012 to 02/08/2013. The DAV sent us a Dependency form with the unofficial letter to list marriages and children and requested he mail this form back. We also went to his DAV rep. and he stated that we need to mail it in and we should be getting money in a couple of weeks. So my husband mailed it back. Did this maybe cause this problem? I…

Va Says They Are Unable To Link My Va And Dod Records
For months the VA has told me they would assist me in getting signed into Ebenefits. I have logged about 90 hours on the phone and been shuttled to five different agencies. I was in the military in the 70s and later worked for DOD for a short time in the 90s. I first could not log onto Ebenefits because they only had me listed as a DOD record. Now they have both, but cannot figure out how to connect me to my service record. So, I keep calling the 800 line. Over 100 bucks in overage calls last month. Anyone else have a similar issue??

Can Anyone Help Explain This Please
Went on ebenefits today and there was something new I have never seen before. Under the column OPEN CLAIMS , which shows my claim submitted on 07/14/2011 still in the Review of Evidence stage, there is a SECTION I have never seen before that is - Historical Claims. Under this new section ( I initially submitted my first claim back in 1992 and a NOD in 1993 and a claim in 2004 with a NOD shortly thereafter). All through St. Petersburg. Under this Historical Claims Heading it now reads: Date = 07/30/2012. Claim Type = Authorization Review. Date Closed = 07/30/2012 and Updates = Appeal is Possible. Any Thoughts on what this means????

ptsd Claim Going Too Fast A Bad Thing?
Hello everyone, I have a question about my claim. It's been open since Dec 2011, but it was closed because i didnt give them more info. I submitted info to the VA in May/June then I had a C&P exam on Jul 9. Then soon after my exam the claim went to Prepartion of a Decision and now today its Pending Decision Approval. I'm thinking to too fast and they are going to deny me. Any insight will be helpful. Thanks Claim: PTSD Service: 2002-2009

Houston Vamc
Well, it's been a little over two years, and one month, and the good old clock is still ticking. However, I noticed a little activity on my eBenefits account this evening late. They wanted a few more details on my conditions, listed under "What Do We Still Need From You?" I took care of those via VONAPP, and will probably get a brown envelope in the mail late this week, containing another VCAA notice with the same questions, and another VCAA form for me to complete/sign. (I'll fill all that out, and send 'em what they want all over again in the U.S. Mail too just in case.) However, I noticed something new to me that I have never seen before. There is now a new blo…
