Finally got some RAMP news TODAY!

[Wayne TX]

Today marks Day 92 since I opted into RAMP and today eBenefits went from Claim Received status straight to Pending Decision Approval.   These Appeals are all HLR with requested Informal TeleConference, which has still yet to take place.  I am just wondering if anyone else has got to this point and an Informal TeleConference either happened after this notice was given or never happened at all?    I said I would let everyone know when I knew something. 

Status of Your Claim

PENDING DECISION APPROVAL

• Submitted: 05/10/2018 (Appeal)
• Estimated Completion: 08/27/2018 - 09/17/2018

Honesty it was a tele dro hearing and she said she had to deny but certified my appeal if I appealed which I did and then appeals was granted 6 months later.... not the usually case but I don’t know details just sharing experience just the amount was over 100k so they deny until the BVA PP or V smacks them to be politically correct...

Wayne  it sounds favorable for a decision soon,  but remember we can't rely on e benefit's  at least your showing some movement.

Next should be preparing for decision. 

if you use a VA Rep or DAV VSO  he should be sending you a brief letter  of what he knows  so for.

Hi Buck........I have been sitting on Pending Decision Approval (PDA) since August 10......it went straight from Claim Received to PDA on EBenefits.......still no Informal Phone Conference yet.......estimated dates Aug. 23 - Sept. 9........yep getting close.  Thank God it was worked out of Winston-Salem, NC instead of Waco.   Fingers crossed.

I went into Ramp on June 1st 2018 and exactly 90 days later On August 30th it went from claim received to preparation for a decision.  Estimated completion Sep 25-Nov 1st.

 

I got a feeling that all three of us will get results this month.    Good luck

I'm actually expecting something to pop this week as my estimated dates still show Aug. 23- Sept. 9.  Good luck to ALL!

Hey guys not to be a buzz kill but don’t get too excited. RAMP is by far faster than any appeal I have been through one 4yr and one 5yr. I originally jumped into RAMP on May 16 sat there with no movement until 08/01 when I moved to Prep for Decision sat there until 08/10 when I moved to pending decision approval. Then on 08/31 I moved back to prep for decision. Then yesterday 09/05 went back to pending decision approaval with an estimated completion date of 09/21 to 10/16. There has been some bouncing around (hopefully a good sign) and hopefully I hear something this month. If approved it would mean back dating me clear back to 2015 and would put me at 100% so hopefully all the back and forth is computations for backpay but with any experience with the VA probably not. Hopefully we all hear something thisnlontha nd it’s all good news.
