Benefits Explorer

[Ret.Navy]

I never even knew about benefts explorer until today and want to know how accurate it is. I am curently rated at 60% and my claim for increase was closed on Aug 4th. I checked the benefits explorer today for the first time and in the drop down menu it has a raiting of 80%. I am hoping this is good news, but I know I need to wait for the envelope.

Congrats! Have you checked to see if they have changed your Benefits Verification (AB8) from 60 to 80% - the form can be found under access my documents tab , then click on download VA letters....there you will see your AB8 form ....click on it and it might show the change in ebenefits.

So far, from all the posts I've read in success stories....when the AB8 was changed percentage wise.... an envelope usually followed with the same info.

ab87 does not show % percentage anymore. It only shows dollar amount and effective date.

under "acces my documents" I have never had an AB8 even before my claim for increase was decided and I still don't. The only docs I have ever had under that tab was AB4, AB7, and 10-point pref.

do you get a check for disability compensation?

Just my usual check for 60% SC.

then you should have an ab8.
