Not Qualified For E-Benefits !

[bm6546]

I have talked to the people at E-Benefits and they tell me I can't sign up for E-Benefits because I don't receive any compensation. I am at 0% SC. I thought I saw a post from someone that was on E-Benefits and they were 0%.

They tell me when I receive at least 10% they will be happy to sign me up.

I believe the person that told you that was misinformed. I went to my RO, presented ID's and they submitted my request. That is another option.

I do have a myhealthyvets account. I order my prescriptions on line through them. I signed up for E-benefits a couple months ago and they gave me a Level 1 sign up password. But I can't access it and the message says something like " not authorized to access this web site". I've called E-benefits several times and they tell me I can't access the site because I have to be a Level 2 and can't get a Level 2 because you have to be at least 10% SC to get an account.

I don't live very close to the RO and it would be dificult for me to get there. Sounds to me to be the typical VA BS.

I am assuming you are also 0% because it doesn't show any percentage by your avatar. The RO signed you up for E-Benefits and you are able to access the site...is this correct?

[#1Cavtrooper]

Yes that is correct. I am not rated right now for I have my initial claim in now.But I have Level 2 access.
