When Do Claims Show Up On Ebenefits?

[kate7772]

My husband filed for reconsideration several weeks ago. This was through DAV and the Cleveland VA. We got notice from the DAV that it had been filed and sent to VA. Shouldn't the claim be listed on eBenefits by now or do reconsiderations not show up there?

Thanks,

Kate

All Veterans benefits need to be recognized as an irrefutable OBLIGATION of the United States Government, I consider that a higher level than entitlement.

 

So long as we are considered welfare recepients by ANY group we will continue to be treated with less than the full respect deserved.

 

It can be argued that the VA is not understaffed and overworked. MANAGEMENT(administrative branch) has not adapted to the current realities and the Board of Directors (congress) hasn't updated the long range plan.

 

Why is it the current administration can demand BP pay damadge claims during the gulf oil spill on less evidence within 90 days(that they had no legal basis to require or demand that), but will not direct the Secretary to take extraordinary measures to clear the primary claims and appeals backlogs.

 

How is it the current administration can grant blanket amnesty to illegals (which they do not have legal justification for), but will not make quick common sense approvals for veterans claims, which they do have the legal authority to do? The VA secretary with the stroke of a pen could fix this with no needed change to law, but he won't. Read the statute, his discretion is immense.

 

As for your DAV representation, just how are they getting a "reconsideration" at the RO level? There is no reconsideration at the RO level, it is ultimately a request to re-open with new evidence on a claim that is not final.

 

As for when will it show up on ebenefits? that will happen when it happens, they are under no statutory requirement to list stuff in eBenefits.

 

Best regards,

Thank you for this comment.  I am so tried of being looked down upon for seeking assistance from the screwed up VA for injuries I never asked to get or wanted.

I also submitted a RECONSIDERATION  to my RO because I had actually qualified for an increased based on VA criteria at the very same time they agreed I was SC but 0 percent compensable.  It worked for me and actually worked fast......got a bump from 0 percent to 10% and it took only 90 days from filing to awarding.  It is definitely a way to go if you have rock solid evidence.  I dodged the bullet there not having to file a NOD and wait another 2+ years to get the very same exact result.   I say go for it still keeping the 1-year rule to file NOD clearly noted.    If they don't get back to you on a reconsideration or keep it sitting in gathering of evidence after 10 months I would personally submit NOD then.  Good evidence gets good results but it has to be strong, new material and indisputable.......not that you just feel it was not right and want a a do over.
