If you actually click on Pending Decision Approval tab while in ebenefits it will reveal that they define Pending Decision Approval as: The recommended decision is reviewed, and a final award approval is made. If it is determined that more evidence or information is required, the claim will be sent back in the process for more information or evidence.

I highlighted the second part of the info because sometimes it does get sent back in the process.....

Not sure about your question (as in exactly what your looking for) but I'll give it a go - What on ebenefits can I see to let me know about the claim?

Once on ebenefits if you go to you Compensation & Pension Claims Page

- you can see the date that you filed the claim

- claim status

- action - needed by you and/or received by VA

If you click on the date that you filed (which is underlined) you will be taken to another page that has:

Details of your claim such as - date filed, claim type, estimated completion date, your contentions (what your claiming)

as well as:

Additional Details:

Your designated power of attorney, Regional Office of Jurisdiction and the address to send documentation to.

and the MOST IMPORTANT on this page:

What the VA needs and what they have received from you, doctors, c&p examiners etc.

Sometimes people are able to check to see if an actual decision has been made by clicking on the Download VA Letters Tab and looking to see if there has been a change to the AB8 Form (Benefit Verification Form)

Thanks USMC5811 for the answer what i was looking for on E-benefits was maybe a ab8 letter or something to determine if the claim was rated. I guess that comes in the next stage Preparation for notification. My claim has been in the system for 22 months now in seattle varo just anxious i guess.

Thanks,
