Ebenefits

[KC3]

Good morning; I did a search on here and the results were vague on my issue with ebenefits with regards to my RAMP appeal. Ebenefits says appeal closed. It also says there are no ratings on the disabilities. I have already prepared for the worst higher level reviewer  in Atlanta who reviewed my claim. Didn't take lay evidence into consideration. Also said the IMO must say review a certified copy of C file. It appears a solid review of SMR's and military history doesn't suffice anymore. Just another reason to deny IMHO. 

Anyhow, if the claim info is updated and the disabilities section says no ratings, does this mean a total denial?

Ok one does it show in your claims history, two is there a new listed disability on your disablity page. Do you have a vets.gov account you can sometimes get a better feel for what and where it is? That’s just a couple of hints also if a new claims opens up and says attorneys fees if you have one.

Here is what vets.gov tells me. It refers me to ebenefits and it says claim is closed. Disabilities says the same thing it always has "not rated for anything" which it has said since my initial denial in 2015.  Does it take a while for eben to update this portion? Historical claims has my RAMP claim listed. 

Thanks and Happy New Year! I hope this helps someone.

Well sadly I have seen this with me but 3 out of 4 times it was a denial. But it being the holidays and updates on Ebenefits isn’t so reliable I would say what to get the decision letter if you’ve waited longer then ten days since the notice has been sent make a Regional Office visit see if they can print you an official copy if that’s an option.
