I have that issue with it being unavailable and think maybe it is being updated then I try minutes later and it works and no update. The system seems to be hit or miss and same with calling the VA. Most of the time when I call the 1800 number the recording tells me to call back later or when they are closed so I can get a call back. Very screwed up system but I dont expect much from the VA. They dont give a crap about us as far as the raters and claims people go. That is my impression anyway.

At this point the 800 # is a waste of time for you.

Even if a decision has been made and their screen shows it,

they can't tell you what the decision is or is not.

Good news and bad news.

Good news: my claim for percentage increase (submitted 3/11/2013) was approved from 70% to 80%, official effective date unknown.

Bad news: my claim for IU (submitted 3/21/2014) went from pending decision notification to gathering of evidence. Back to square one (or 3?)

On one hand, I'm super happy for the 80%. On the other, I'm kinda stumped that my other claim went from decision notification to gathering of evidence.
