  1. UPDATE: first of all, yes Philip, my wife and I would love to have coffee with a fellow paratrooper! :) and now for the great news, We spent a couple hours at the Manchester VARO today, we got an awesome gentleman we only managed to get his firt name "Bernie" but he was incredibly helpful and sympathetic. He closed the new claim they had opened and told us we should see the direct deposit in a couple days! So again THANKS TO ALL. Thanks Aletta, you are correct, We were able to see my award in the VA letters portion of eBenefits and how much and when it was sent out before we ever received the award packet from the VA. all in all, we are very grateful this was resolved!
  2. Yes we did make sure the Manchester VARO had our change of address and we have the same direct deposit account.. We have taken the good advice to move the payment to a different account. that was a great idea! We hope for the best and are certainly budgeting for a possible long wait, I will email questions through IRIS Thank You ALL for your answers and advice. Hoping we don't have to get a lawyer. Small world Philip, we moved from a town close to White River Junction, VT. I expect Manchester has many more Vets so lines will be long for appointments and being seen. Thanks again to everyone for your help.
  3. Thank you Berta, Nothing in my award packet mentioned temporary or convalescence.. I am not familiar with the term CUE, is that like a note in their system? We did contact the DAV back during the claims process and filled out the POA, I have heard nothing but great and wonderful things about DAV but the closest location to us, we visited was in a neighboring state, and in the middle of a move to a new location and didn't really seem to have the staff to help so we called them back a few times throughout the claim but each time we got the same person who didn't have the time or answers. We never received so much as a letter or phone call back. Since then we have ourselves moved and not intentionally, but it happens to be closer to the VARO which is Manchester, NH. My wife thought it would be a good idea to contact a different DAV now since they are already listed with the VA as our POA and we are closer to the city.
  4. Thanks J and Philip, I checked back on ebenefits and now they are showing on the new claim "Contentions 21- 0820: resume veteran's award", so hopefully they realized they're mistake but this is March, the third month of no payments. I spent 14 years in and they were the best, I couldn't believe they let me get up every day and put on that uniform, but this whole process sure makes me miss humping a ruck sack... at least I KNEW my check was going to be in the bank and on time!
  5. After a long stressful wait during the slow claims process, I was awarded 100% Service Connected Disability and received my retroactive payment and the first monthly payment in December 2012. PRAISE GOD! I thought the long battle was won... I was then disappointed to discover no January payment so with several calls to the helpline, no idea what the problem was, give it another month they said...no February payment either. By this time my wife and I are checking ebenefits and calling the helpline regularly again. This is so frustrating and confusing but finally a new claim pops up on Ebenefits, "Eligibility Determination". So after all the time it took the VA to determine I was eligible for Service Connection, a month after they figured that out they have to begin the process over again? Nothing has changed on my end, nothing. Sorry but I'm confused. Anyone ever hear of the VARO doing this? if so how often do they suspend awards to determine if you're still eligible?
