I myself was just wondering that this morning. My claim closed earlier this week and received the BBE (albeit it was white) and doesn't have anything as "scheduled for reduction" in it. As this was my first claim I don't know what to think. I will keep checking this thread to see if anyone with a little more knowledge strolls through and give the insight.

I filed my initial claim through the Texas Vet Commission. I then added a contention shortly after as I was not to worried about the timeline. Something happened in the system and the one I added later fell off the map it seemed. The 1800 number advised me to re file it again which I did online..to save time eventually I had to email the head lady who got me in contact with someone to help sort things out. My claim went through the PFD, PDA, PFN, and complete all today. Doing it online was pretty smooth honestly, it is just a pain having to upload all of your documents. From what I could tell there wasn't a limit to how much you can upload as long as it wasn't over the limit per upload.

My claim completed today after 5 months ( I know it was quick) and on the AB8 letter is shows single rate comp instead of dependent rate. How can I tell if my dependents are in the system? Is that just a formality and I will be getting the dependent rate or will I have to fix it?

My claim completed today after only 5 months and was wondering why the AB8 letter only shows the single rate. Where do I check my dependents status to ensure I start receiving dependent rate? Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your reply Navy. I understand they merge them together, but I had my PTSD C&P exam scheduled before my I filed my second PTSD claim on ebenefits. I had my C&P for my Jan 2 claim and just filed the one on Feb 17 due to the 1800 number advising me that was my best option. Today I am told the same day they merged my two active claim (the first claim somehow scheduled my C&P for PTSD after I added it on Jan2) they are scheduling a second C&P for the Feb 17 PTSD claim. I just don't want the VA spending money for an exam that I just did 3 weeks ago.

I am a little confused as whats going on with my claim so I'm hoping you guys will be able to assist me decipher what is going on. I filed my intial claim on 10/10/2014. I added a contention on 01/02/2015 for PTSD. The PTSD populated in Ebenefits around 01/10/2015 and disappeared ~01/25/2015 from Ebenefits. I called the 1800 number and the person I spoke with advised me to put it another claim online and I did on 02/17/2015. I completed all C&P exams on 2/18, 2/19 (PTSD), and 2/23. They obviously have my added contention for PTSD from Jan 2 because they scheduled my C&P for it. On 3/2/2015 my second active claim (from 2/17) was merged with my original claim in Ebenefits and PTSD was added back to my claim. I called the 1800 number today as was advised that I will be scheduled for another PTSD C&P in the future (wasn't given a date). So anyone have any idea who I need to contact to sort all of this out? Thanks for your help.

As this is my first post I will try and keep it short. After spending the last few weeks browsing this place I created an account. I to went for the leap of faith and pushed the button this morning. I don't have any more evidence to submit so I clicked it. As this is my first claim I was kind of skeptical as were some of my coworkers but I pushed it anyway.
