VA Benefits Disability Letter

[Mr.Coleman44]

I separated from the U.S. Navy on October 10, 2016. I submitted a va claim on March 29, 2018. I have already attended all of my appointments, and submitted all of the required documents. Today as I was checking the status of my claim on ebenefits,  I saw my VA disability verification letter. The letter stated that my combined evaluation was at 60%. However, according to the benefits, the my claim is still being reviewed, and I haven't received any official letter by mail. The letter also stated that I would be receiving $1,182.52, with the effective date of disability as December 1, 2017

Question #1:Is there any chance that this number will change?   
Question #2:Is $1,182.52 the correct amount for a 60% rating with spouse and child?
Question #3:If my claim was submitted within 12 months of separation, shouldn't the effective date be the 1st day of the month after I separated?

1.  Yes.  Ebenefits is unreliable.

2.  Here is the scale, check it for yourself, I dont know how old your kid(s) are:

3.  Yes.  You "may" have to appeal the effective date.  The "Dec.2017" date is used because there was a raise on Dec. 1, 2017 so your compensation changed.  This does not mean your effective date will be Dec. 2017.
