Prep for notification- how long until?

[Johhny_Drama]

Here is the rough timeline:

C&P Exams- Nov 20th

Moved from Gathering of evidence 2 weeks later to Prep for Decision

A week later it moved to Pending approval decision

Today it went to Prep for notification

This was basically a month from when i took the C&P Exams.

 

Question is, when will Ebenefits have the updated disability ratings if any? As of now the claim is showing the 4 items and its not closed. Do they not update the information until after it says closed? I even looked at the VA docs where it list your disability rating as these sometimes update early and nothing, it still has the same information.

Lastly, IF they did award any of the claims and the backpay is not correct, do I need to call my REP or VA 800 # Peggy and would this result in a whole new claim to obtain the BP? I am thinking way ahead here but as you all know, there is a reason for this. I like to have my ducks in a row. Last time it went its way and I didn't check Ebenefits as i figured it would take several months. I only saw the approval award because of the deposit. This time I have been tracking and its been nothing short of stomach aches.

Please do not "track" ebenefits.  It will give you an ulcer.  Wait for the BBE and relax.  Ebenefits is not always accurate and does not change rapidly.
