Claim Updated Today

[cbths1]

Hello,

My claim info was updated today on the ebenefits website and would like your opinion please.

As of this morning it shows the following:

Type of Claim: Compensation

Date Closed: 01/30/2014 (Today)

Updates: Appeal is Possible

Decision Notification Sent

Development Letter Sent

Action: View Board of Veterans' Appeals Status (Link)

I know from reading this website for quite some time, and the wonderful post several helpful people have made, that this doesn't tell me anything other than watch the mail.

My question is this; when I check the benefits letter, it still says "One or more service connected disabilities: No". Would you expect this information to have an actual % listed if the decision were favorable at this time? Would your best guess be that I was turned down again? Does it sometimes take a day or two for this info to update, or would you expect this to be accurate information?

I keep running it through my head, and just don't know how quickly that letter would be updated if I were awarded something, so I can't help but think I have been denied again, and thought I would see what others with more experience had to say.

Thank you in advance for your answer, and thank you for taking the time to read this (what turned out to be a rather long) post.

Forgot to mention that the date of the letter, when I generate one, is 01/30/2014. I saw in another post where that question was asked, so I want to give all the info I can. Thanks again!

Did you check the "payments" section on E benefits?

I keep getting "5103 Waiver Review needed". I gave the bastards a sworn statement that I have no more evidence but on Ebenefits it still says gathering evidence.

Well I got my envelope today, and was denied again. Been battling since 2004 and think it's finally time to hang it up, for sanities sake. I appreciate all the replies and attempts to help and truly wish everyone the best. Thanks!

I'm very sorry to hear about the denial. Have you considered using an attorney ?

cbths1.......Sorry to hear you lost yet another battle with the VA but the war must continue. If I may ask what was the time frame or start date on this last claim that was denied? I was just wondering how long the claim process took for you to be denied yet again. I hope all works out in the end, again I'm sorry to hear the news.

don't give up, that what they want. Stay at them, if you give up they win. I know it is hard to fight the battle, I am fighting one since I was denied 1983, so the battle still goes on. Like someone else said, get a lawyer, you may have to payout, but if you win the door is then open. keep up the fight. GOOD LUCK
