What in the world? Not available, no longer needed?

[Jessamine]

Hey all. I have 2 claims, a RAMP appeal and a new one for conditions the RAMP appeal evolved into. There wasn't a whole lot of movement. On my RAMP I had a C&P on 1/31 that basically proved my new claim moreso than what it was actually for, and then yesterday on my new one a "Request 3, exam request processing" popped up and then an hour later went to "Request 3 closed. No longer needed. Date: Not available"

 

Err.. so do I have pending appointments or did they review my other evidence? I only ask because I am supposed to be moving from PA to WV and I have been trying to hold off until exams, if needed, are done. If they don't need them anymore, I know I have extensive records provided and would be wanting to move ASAP. I didn't want to jump off of my sinking ship until they had everything they needed, if that makes sense. So what does the no longer needed thing mean? Is it as obvious as it sounds and they don't need another exam? 

 

DAV guy 1 said I had pending exams,  DAV guy 2 said nope, you're good on exams. Errr... anyone have this happen? And if it matters, there are DBQ's on file as well.

 

Thanks

Dont base your decision to move on a ebenefits note!!!  Ebenefits is exceptionally unreliable.

Hang in there, for a while, at least.  You dont want to move in the Winter cold, anyway, unless you absolutely have to.  

You do have the right idea, tho:  Keep VA aware of your address, and make sure you dont miss c and p exams.

I would call the 1-800-827-1000 number and see if they will shed any light on this.  Then I would contact your closest VA hospital and talk to the people setting up C&P's.

Thanks all. I will call the VA hospital and the 800 #.  It's so weird, the one guy (DAV) said the it was LHI exams or something like that, and then the other rep called back and said "nah, you're good".  It's so confusing because a lot of times it will say processing or awaiting review. I haven't actually had "no longer needed" before lol. Looks like I have some calls to make. Thanks all!

clarification on which "guy"

[broncovet]

I still have 2 appeals pending..and, if/when they ever get completed, I will be able to figure out "how much money" taking the advice of a VSO cost me.  It will be in the thousands of dollars.  

I would have been money ahead to hire an attorney from the get-go and pay the 20 percent.  Its much better than 0 percent.

I have similar on my VA.gov.  It said:  Closed—-Exam processing and at the bottom—No longer needed.

what should conclude this to mean?  Can someone give me an answer to this as the 800 folks are clueless and often contradictory.

It might be best if you start your own new thread and explain a little more. Prior to your post this post was last responded on February 13, 2019
