Change In E-Benefits Status -Very Confusing I Need Help
Two days ago I looked at my ebenefits claim status and it stated "your entire claim decision packet is prepared for mailing". Tonight, I looked again and there are two entries: Date/type of claim 04/08/2010(1) "claim received" administrative review. (2)04/08/2010 Date closed updates compensation 2/13/2012 APPEAL IS POSSIBLE Decision Notification Sent Development Letter Sent Can anyone tell me what this might mean?? What would admin review be? Why would they send out a decision and then review that same decision? Seems like that is putting the cart before the horse--but then again, …

E-Benefits Down
It sure would be nice to go and order hearing aid batteries. Site has been down about a week. I wonder how many millions they are wasting this time to update the worthless site.

Letter Generator - Suggestion
Letter Generator - Suggestion In the past I have experienced changes that were made to ebenefits, by way of what information they decided to provide and when. Keep in mind that they can change anything on the web site, as they see fit. I'm taking the time now to bring this to everyone's attention, so you can squash problems now - that may come up later down the road. I suggest that as your letters become available - you copy and save them as a file in your documents, to have for later use if needed. I would also print out a couple of hard copies of each and just put them away in a file somewhere at home. JMHO

Why Are We Wasting Our Tax Dollars On Such "systems"?
I may have set a new record . I have been in the "Gathering Evidence" stage since Feb 16, 2010, give a week that I was in "review of evidence". None of my appeals are in Ebenefits. None of my C&P exams are in Ebenefits. The 1-800# is totally worthless. I can get more info from Bootsie. If, they are unable to keep a system current and personnel with answers, then it is time to try something else. This is just wasting tax dollars. IMHO. Papa

ptsd Not Familar With Ebenefits Postings
hello my name is george and im new to the forums but have been reading everyones similar stories to mine for over the last year. I recently sent a congressional inquiery to patty murray last week regarding why i havent had a C&P exam for over 13months for my single PTSD claim (april2011) and why the VA has not responded to any of my IRIS inquieries. today ebenfits updated a new topic claim above my unfinished PTSD claim which states type of claim as "Special Correspondence" and has all of the same evidence as my PTSD claim in it. My question is, does this mean they're being inquired by my senator and does this restart my claim wait since it states it as a claim …

Closed And Complete In Ebenefits?
All Status in Ebenefits shows CLOSED and COMPLETE, but no rating info in letter generator. What are the chances that this means that the claim was denied. I personally think that this is a good indicator of a denied claim if the letter generator does not show a letter in support of an award or rating. What is your experience with this type of ebenefits status. Lois

C-File On Ebenefits
I requested a copy of my C-File last month from the Reno RO where my request letter was signed for with return receipt. Now there is an entry made on Ebenefits showing this C-File request as a new open claim. First why an entry on Ebenefits as a new claim? (Huh) Second does anyone have a clue as to how long before I will receive the file, as I want to see if I am missing anything from my own files before submitting my NOD for my appeal. Thanks in advance. OSC
