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 pressed the magical button on 4/14/15 claim submitted on 4/02/15. Today it went on 5/18/15 from under review to prep for decision. Funny though, they requested more info from my local VAMC which kind of scares me since I already submitted two PFT's with a FEV-1 of 38 and 39 predicted with no change after post.

Praying I get decided on soon and not have to play the merry-go-round game of going back to gathering info when the PFT's should be enough evidence.

Crossing fingers...

Raza23 I wish you the best!

I went from Under Review 2/15 to GOE 4/15 and I have been there since then...I pushed the button last month so we will see. I submitted everything I needed for my FDC so they should have everything they need to S/C me! Fingers crossed for all of US!

**UPDATE** I am now in PFD after pushing the button to "decide my claim" back in April....

I think going straight to the decision phase after pushing the button is perhaps more of a generated response. Not sure if mine needs a higher level review now as status says initial review complete or what, but mine has went from PFD 05/18/15 back to Review of Evidence on 06/08/15. If an increase is granted it puts me at 100% so perhaps it's just a matter of higher management now reviewing and signing off on the claim. Still a little over a 2 month claim and the ball seems to be rolling nevertheless.
