Should I STOP Bad Mouthing E-Benefits?

Rate this question


Gastone

Question

The answer is a Resounding YES. Can't say I've had very much good, to say as far as E-Benefits being timely and accurate over the past couple years. As of yesterday, I stand corrected.

Because of my prior negative bias regarding E-Ben for anything other than Filing claims and Evidence, I really never spend much, if any time checking my status. I've been 90% IU T & P No Future Exams since a DRO Hearing 06/14 and have filed a few FDC's for Secondary's, early 14 & 15. No real new info appeared on my E-Ben site after the SC Rating Letters 09/14 & 08/15 caught up and were finally posted to E-Ben.

Then yesterday 01/05/15, I printed out a E-Ben Proof of IU letter for my yearly MI Property Tax Exemption.

Much to my surprise, in addition to my IU information, there was a sizable error (in my favor) pertaining to my monthly comp payment. I have no idea how long this information has been available on my E-Ben site. I haven't received an official Award Letter and no Retro has hit, monthly comp 01/2016 was same as all of 2015. The increase was effective as of 08/01/2015 from a 07/19/15 rating decision that I still haven't received paper on. The comp increase amount appears to be the SMC S.

Printed out an E-Ben Rated Disabilities list this am, Shows my long time SA 50%SC has been increased to SA with a Secondary SC condition now rated at 100% as of 07/19/15.

Happy New Year to Me!

Now I can't Bad Mouth the Det Rating Dept either, WTF, gotta be able to get pissed off at someone, Right.

Just received the VA Official Award Letter for my SA bump to 100%. I think I posted that I had received a VA Decision, 11/11/2015, to continue my SA SC at 50%, effectively denying my 02/15 FDC for Increase.

Jan 3, 2016, E-Ben showed 100% Schedular with SMC S (1) dating back to 4/15. It appears that the "Shadow Raters," got their hands on the Rating Dept 11/15 Decision and in their infinite wisdom, agreed with my FDC and Awarded what I had contended. They did get the Award and Retro Date wrong, but that can get corrected.

Just maybe, not all Rating Dept Employees, are out to BONE us.

Gastone,
That is proof that there is still hope for (some) veterans.
