Has Anyone Used The New, Have Your Claim Decided On Feature On Ebennies

[Navy04]

Has anyone used the "Have your claim decided on" feature on Ebenefits site. As you all know my claim was at the Prep for Decision phase for the last month, then the other day it went back to Gathering of Evidence. Well the Ft Worth VA called today and scheduled a couple of C&Ps at the Ft Worth and Dallas VAs. I have Uploaded, Mailed and Faxed all the Medical Evidence more than once, and I am tired of these idiots. My last two FDC claims I had a couple of bad C&Ps, as either the Docs would not even look at me and hardly talk, or accept my Evidence. These Damn exams are driving me crazy, and I don't feel like driving over 200 and 300 miles round trip to each exam. I am thinking of using this feature in the next few days. As long as the VA grants SC on a few conditions, then I will fight the rest 1 condition at a time from hear out. What do you guys think? Thanks again and hope you have a good week.

I filed for an increase, received it, and got backpay to the date I filed. Maybe I'm not understanding you correctly but the vet should be entitled to backpay from the date they filed for the increase.

See thats what I would assume as well. NOT from the date the initial claim was made but from the date that the increase was requested.

I mashed the button about a month ago. My claim is still in "Gathering of Evidence".

Actually, the VA determined my increase from the date the DBQ was signed by my outside doctor. No complaints from me on that!

That would be nice as well but as long as my may payment is at 80% I'll be happy. It would be nice if they reto'd me to when I filed for the increase back in august though or even back to march when an outside dr noted that my ptsd had gotten more severe.

My claim's been decided as of this morning... Maybe it does work after all.
