I don't know

[Maggiebell]

Hi Hadit members,

I am a member and a lurker by choice because I don't have much to say. I have learned enough to file my own claim and represent myself only because of what I have learned here on this wonderful site, I would still be hiding and suffering if it wasn't for the vast knowledge I have gained just by sitting back and observing what is being said. I have a question that I am having problems deciphering and I know someone here can help guide me in the right direction. My claim is in Gathering Evidence, I have had my C&P and on Ebenefits it says Initial Review complete, also it says that from me they need for me to  complete and return the enclosed form but  I can't find an enclosed form to complete, There is also something new that appeared on my claimed disabilities list, it says dependency(new).. I want to thank you guys in advance because I know there is an answer waiting for this novice, Thank you for your service! and GOD bless.

Ok, call your VAMC and speak to the benefits counselor about the mysterious form to fill out.

And as for the dependency....do you have kids, or a spouse?  Could be for that.  But usually that only matters if you are, or are going to be rated at 30% or higher.  Since the VA only pays an allotment for dependents starting at the 30% disability rating.

Semper Fi.
