ptsd Ebenefits

[gfunk]

ok so i finally put my claims in and they finally showed up on ebenefits. it shows 10 of them up there in development stage, including "unemployabiliy" (as its spelled on e benefits). everything looks good except it doesnt show an increase for ptsd on there. is this because im shooting for an increase and its not a new claim altogether or is this something i should be worried about? either way, this was my mark mcguire, the home run shot at 100%. lets hope its outta the park

My increase right now shows up on Ebenefits. Is there anything about your PTSD submission, or is it just missing? I had a claim for ED that I submitted that wasn't showing up on Ebenefits , and after a week or so I emailed my VSO and he suggested resubmitting it (I had submitted both claims on one form, so maybe they missed that one). I re-did it separately and it showed up in a few days.

thanks brokensoldier. i sent my vso an email. i want to blame her for this. when i was in her office to file these, she made seperate bullet points for most of my conditions

• chronic heart burn
• irritable bowel syndrome
• tinnitus
• (TBI) traumatic brain injury, migraines, memory loss, vertigo,and an increase in ptsd
• rash on my chest and head
• unemployabiliy

but what concerned me was the tbi one, she grouped all those together and i had asked her if that would make a difference and she said no cause most of those symptoms go together.

even still, everything shows up on e benefits except the increase in ptsd, which was one of my main concerns. it rough being in such a remote area, shes the only vso around and she sucks

No, the RO probably read it wrong. I did the same thing on mine and the missed it, buried in the text. So I refiled it.

While at the VA Regional office today, I went to the Benefits office. Again, as I did a couple months ago. I expalined I had alreayd been there and the the website will not let me sign in. I already had an account a froma few years ago on that MyHealth vet website.. but wanted access to E-benefits website. He told me that I need to go to the Library at the VA Hospital, I told him I had already gone there a few weeks ago,, that was after signing up at the VA regional office a few weeks before that.

I explained even though I went through the verigfciation process at least 2x now, and had a miserable time at the VA patient library, and the lady there was clueless and treated my like I was stupid, and she never heard of the E-Benefits website.

moving on, at the VA regional office, I with through the I.D. Verifican process for the 3x time.

I am not sure if I am even going to ever use it, it is just a joke. I told him even with I tried to cal the phone number on the website, no one answers.. Someone posted on this website it is working again, but I tried a few days ago, after they said it is working, it still woul not let me me sign up and sign in..

Just sayin...

What error do you get when trying to sign in?

Being ID verified won't do you any good, probably, unless you are registered for Ebenefits first, and its the registration portal between MyhealthVet and Ebenefits that has been broken since July. i got in at the end of July, and the portal between the two has been broken ever since (must by my fault) It took me about 5 minutes to sign up and link the two sites, then another 20-30 to go to the RO (here in lincoln, where I live) and get ID verified for level 2-but i still had to be registered for the site to log in. The ID verify doesn't do that part.

Do you know how to take a screen shot of your screen when the error is on there?

(Press ALT and the PRNT Scrn key at the same time, then open MS Paint, then save as JPEG or JPG).

Then post that screenshot at an attachment here on hadit so I/we can see the error. Maybe if we see what you are seeing it will help.

Ret44,

Sorry about your frustration with eBenfits.

I haven't found the site very helpful.

I just tried checking C & P Status and got message:

Sorry!! Application is not available.

My status was in 1-Development for some time after receiving my increase, then recently changed to a 4-Closed with no explanations, so I'm waiting for a call back from VSO.

My attempt to get military records failed saying they couldn't find a record with my SSN.

Not sure what the usefulness of this system is.
