aggie54 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) My claim is still showing as gathering of evidence, but status changed to P&T on the Benefits Explorer. I am 90% Service and VA connected with 6 deferred contentions, but now they added P&T what does that mean? Thank you guys for any advise and happy New Years.

#1Cavtrooper Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 My Benefits Explorer also updated to reflect my P/T status which I was awarded on 10/04/12. If I were you I'd still be "cautiously" optimistic about ebenefits. Good Luck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggie54 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Congrats! I'm new so what exactly are ya'll talking about with regards to the p& t part? Good morning Marine, what this means is when you have a claim in with the VA there are several places on E-benefits that you want to keep an eye on. One is, on Benefits Explorer it shows your personal information like active duty date, dependency, and % if any at this current time. It also shows right below the % wether or not you are P&T or not. This P&T means Permanent and Total which normally comes with an award that is considered to be 60% or more, in which they pay you at the 100% and you will not have anymore required exams for your disabilities. Hope this explains a little about it. There is much more to the P&T meaning in which I'm sure there is a lot more experience members in the sight that can be a little more clear about it. Hope this helps. Semper Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
