What Does This Mean?

My status changed last week to pending decision approval. I've been logging in daily to see any updates. Today I log in and see a new claim received? I haven't opened a new claim. What could this mean? Also the date for the new claim to be closed is March 5 or 6th of 2015.

When your status changes to "Preparation for Notification," start checking your "Benefits Summary Letter" found under "Downloadable VA Letters" on ebenefits. Changes in your rating status usually show up on the "Benefits Summary Letter" before you receive official notification from the VA. Also, start checking your direct deposit account for your retro pay.

Good luck to you and thank you for your service.

Keep in mind that although ebenefits is supposed to tell you the current status, it can bounce around a lot with no warning or reason at all.

Georgiapapa gives good advice.

I hope you get good news on your claim!

Thanks guys I actually emailed my VA rep and they called me immediately. He actually told me that the 2nd status is for the Vocational Rehab. He also told me my pending rating was.
