Under Review ?

[Carl the Engineer]

All,

Been awhile since I made a claim, and it finally showed on eBenifits today.

I havent seen these new screens before, however here is what it says;

Under review and Status changed.

It dosent show like before when you could go left to right to watch to progress, so I cant remember where "under review" was in the chain, but I think it was first?

And status changed, but from what to what? Could be just a new claim.

Anyway, I liked to old screen, I.e., left to right. Oh, and then back left again, ha ha...

Thanks,

Hamslice

Also, Estimated Completion: 09/24/2015 - 12/01/2015

^{Here's what I think it is. remember it can bounce back and forth between steps and status on e-benefits is sometime questionable}

^{Step 1. Claim Received}

^{Your claim has been received by the VA. If you applied online with VONAPP Direct Connect, you should see receipt in your list of Open Claims within one hour. If you applied through the U.S. mail, please allow mailing time plus one week for us to process and record receipt of your claim.}

^{Step 2. Under Review}

^{Your claim has been assigned to a Veterans Service Representative and is being reviewed to determine if additional evidence is needed. If we do not need any additional information, your claim will move directly to the Preparation for Decision phase.}

^{Step 3. Gathering of Evidence}

^{The Veterans Service Representative will request evidence from the required sources. Requests for evidence may be made of you, a medical professional, a government agency, or another authority. It is common for claims to return to this phase, should additional evidence be required.}

^{Step 4. Review of Evidence}

^{We have received all needed evidence. If, upon review, it is determined that more evidence is required, the claim will be sent back to the Gathering of Evidence phase.}

^{Step 5. Preparation for Decision}

^{The Veterans Service Representative has recommended a decision, and is preparing required documents detailing that decision. If more evidence is required, the claim will be sent back in the process for more information or evidence.}

^{Step 6. Pending Decision Approval}

^{The recommended decision is reviewed, and a final award approval is made. If it is determined that more evidence or information is required, the claim will be sent back in the process for more information or evidence.
Step7. Preparation for Notification}

^{Your entire claim decision packet is prepared for mailing.}

^{Step 8. Complete}

^{The VA has sent a decision packet to you by U.S. mail. The packet includes details of the decision or award. Please allow standard mailing time for your packet to arrive before contacting a VA call center.}
