Posted (edited)

Hello everyone just signed in to Ebenefits to track my claim.  I noticed that Ebenefits has add a new entry.  I was just checking the status of my claim which is currently in prep for decision phase. I then clicked on the estimated completion time which is highlighted in blue 08/28/2016-10/28/2016.  Then I noticed this information popped up. I am scared to click on it because it looks like it will even extend or delay  my decision out even further.  So guys could you take a look at this and tell me what do you think?

Muffin; If you check the box that indicates you have submitted all your documents, I think they will process it quicker instead of VA waiting 60 days to see if you submit more documents.  So actually, they should be able to process it quicker...jmho...tom

I agree wtih Thomas.  Checking this box and submitting means that you have submitted all your evidence, please rate your claim on "what they have".    If you have no new evidence, then you should check that box and submit.  

However, as many times as I say this, people continue to rely on ebenefits when they should not.  Its inaccurate, often not up to date, and has very limited purposes.  Some Vets advocates recommend NOT checking ebenefits, and simply ignoring it.  Yes, I know you are anxious to find out your result.  We all are.  

You should get a hobby and wait for the decision, and then decide on a course of action, unless you have new evidence to submit.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
