Question
WomanMarine
I received a call from the St. Louis RO this morning. I was told I was 'granted' but was not given more information.
My bank changed hands this week and I needed to update my electronic deposit information. I logged into ebenefits and saw that my original info had been deleted. It stated that I elected to receive payment by mail. I called Peggy who said my claim may have just been approved, as he could not find paperwork on it, at this point. I guess after all these years I can wait a few more days, but it seems after reading these forums that the first clue of an award is checking ones bank account.
I was also told that I may have not got what I wanted, as I was applying for both knees, one of which is service connected, the other has arthritis because of my SC knee. I was told that my VSO did not put in a claim for secondary, but it does state it in my appeal. According to ebenefits, it appears that they granted my original claim and not the appeal.
Would the VA just look at the original DoD rating of 10% in 1975? Or would they consider my recent C&P and upgrade my percentage for the one knee?
Has anyone received their initial check by mail?
If so, how long did it take? I ask this, as I had to file a financial hardship
Thanks for your thoughts!

My advice is if you "have" a working bank account, update those details ASAP under ebenefits. If you dont have one, then you will have to receive your benefits via a check. Its always faster if you

WomanMarine, I am glad that something is happening with your case(s). Whether you get what you think or more or less, the most important thing is that your in the system. And service connected

Great news, womanmarine. Im considering calling the white house, for reasons you so stated. They might be able to hurry up my 15 year old appeal.
