Claims Listed on Ebennies That I Never Submitted???

[NavyCorpsman950]

Hi all.

I submitted some claims through Ebenefits a while back. Some were rated favorably. Others were deferred. Strangely, it's also listing several claims that I never even submitted, and some of these not submitted by me claims were stamped "Not Service Connected". However, about 3 of them were stamped "Deferred" and sent back to "Gathering Evidence".

What is the possible reasoning behind this? Is the VA anticipating that I would have filed for these claims in the future, so they shot them down or deferred them for future references? Anyone have any guesses or reasoning to offer?

Thanks in advance and my apologies if this was already asked.

Is it possible that this excerpt from the VA web site applies to you?

“Note: Under certain circumstances, VA may conclude that certain current disabilities were caused by service, even if there is no specific evidence proving this in your particular claim. The cause of a disability is presumed for the following Veterans who have certain diseases.

Presumed Disability

• Former prisoners of war

• Veterans who have certain chronic or tropical diseases that become evident within a specific period of time after discharge from service

• Veterans who were exposed to ionizing radiation, mustard gas, or Lewisite while in service

• Veterans who were exposed to certain herbicides, such as by serving in Vietnam

• Veterans who served in Southwest Asia during the Gulf War”

Ok. That makes sense. The 2nd one seems to apply to my situation. Thanks for your reply, Berta!

It's just weird to see things proceeding favorably for me on E benefits. I will remain suspicious until all my claims are closed.

I think you mean the Chronic Presumptives- the link is in this thread:

Storm is affecting my satellitye dish and I could not get the regulation  link to open.

This link might be better:

https://www.benefits.va.gov/BENEFITS/factsheets/serviceconnected/presumption.pdf

The Chronic Presumptions are under the second criteria but they have info there on all types of presumptives.

Ok, and yes you are correct. Chronic Presumptives. I will check out both links.

Thanks and thanks again, Ms. Berta!
