Question
Berta
I used to use IRIS for a status of any pending claims.
However, some of my IRISes went unanswered.
Still it is often a good way to get a status of a DIC claim.
Unfortunately widows.widowers cannot use ebenefits but if you call 1-800-827-1000 and click on the #1 first when prompted and then click on # 7 for ebenefits, -if you actually get a person, tell them you are a widow and cannot use ebenefits and they can give you a status on your claim.
The 800# is often very busy to include the # 7 access to ebenefits but -if you call 'after hours' as the VA 800# robot says, at the # 7 ebenefits thing, you can acquire an appointment time in which hopefully VA will call you back during their regular working hours.
I cannot comprehend why widows or widowers cannot use the ebenefits feature but that is the way it is.
Last year every time VA said they would call me back, they did.
