az arr Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 There is a link on Ebenefits that says "Ask the VA to Decide your Claim Now." Why is that there? Does it do anything for a DRO review?

0 Big Papa Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't see it. Moreover, that link doesn't make sense, because everyone would be clicking that link. Furthermore, deciding a claim that isn't fully developed to render a decision isn't VA protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance When you submit a claim and the VA posts it on eBenefits, there will be a link that will say Decide the claim now. If you have everything the YOU can give them for your claim, go ahead and hit it. It makes it a FDC claim and is supposed to spead it up. However, if there is any questions or additional information needed from you, it just turns into a normal claim. I have pressed it and nothing really happens. My claim was no faster or shorter than others I have had. Its not for an appeal (DRO review). That goes normal speed, from what I'm told.

Thank you, I filed an appeal (DRO review) and for some reason that link appears it also says "(reopen)" next to my disabilities claimed (see below - cut and pasted from my ebenny page). I didn't think this link should appear on a DRO review. Again, thank you for your time.

Disabilities Claimed: right shoulder (Reopen) Hello Az Arr, Did you ever find out what it mean by "reopen." I am doing a DRO appeal as well and mine displays the same thing. I am pending decision approval and want to make sure my original filing date is preserved. I know that I got it to them on the last day to submit the appeal. I am wondering if they will backpay to the original filing date or try to give me my appeal date. Hopefully you still check this. Also, how far along are you?

There is a link on Ebenefits that says "Ask the VA to Decide your Claim Now." Why is that there? Does it do anything for a DRO review? What happens if I click it or don't click it?
Thanks in advance
