Ebenefits Question

[Jaydog]

I just had a disability added to my pending disabilities its vbms/appeal. I do have an appeal out and an open claim for my other contentions. Just looking to see if anyone knows why it does this or anyone else have the same thing going on or does it mean they are going to work on my appeal at the same time as my other contentions.

Is the appeal remanded?  They might have merged the claim w/appeal.

I thought maybe as well, but it still shows the appeals. 1 from 2013 and 1 from 2015. Maybe they merged my one I just did a NOD on. I will just have to wait and see what happens

 

 

 

If a new claim is submitted while an existing claim is pending, any new information will be consolidated with the pending claim. The new claim will then be marked as Complete and moved to Historical Claims with no further action required.

on the status screen where you see the status of the new claim, is there a statement located on the top part about Consolidating claims?

 

mine has  "Important Message About Consolidated Claims" then a pop up that states a new claim was submitted while an existing claim is pending...

No pop up or any statement about consolidation..... I am hoping they realized they made a mistake and are correcting it.  I have to be optimistic about this waiting game

[pwrslm]

mine has the consolidation statement...it looks like something is awry on your case maybe? 

Try calling peggy Monday...its not worth ruining the weekend....happy new year!
