We Closed the Notice for Request 1

[NAVY GULF WAR VET]

Logged into eBenefits today and my (migraine/headache) claim went from PFD back to GOE. The estimated completion dates has been moved back to another 4 to 6 months again! The message states "We closed the notice for Request 1"  which was an C&P exam.  It states developmental letter sent.

Previous post says this means and C&P exam has been scheduled, while another vet posted this means a C&P is not needed bc I have enough evidence. Any feedback?

Can you get backpay after 100% award when an additional evidence is favorable

What exactly does "" we closed this claim for request 1 "" mean?  I am trying to get a character discharge review however after uploading all required information I checked the status and the update was "we closed this claim for request 1". Does anyone know EXACTLY what that means?

"We closed request # (x) only means that the VA reviewer saw that some action has to be done, and put in a "request" to get it going. For example, request a C&P exam be initiated. Once the "request", not the actual physical, is inputed to say request VES do a C&P, that "request" is closed. It really doesn't mean anything to you, and, Shrek is right on. You don't need to watch ebenefits move stuff around; it can drive you up a wall.

@NAVY GULF WAR VET what did this end up meaning for you? Seeing the same message on ebenefits.

My understanding is that ebenefits was created to give veterans more transparency into the status of their claims.  What is the point of having it if nobody knows what the status posts mean?  Also, many vets have posted it is useless.  Why can't there be a simple explanation for the various posts?

GoNavy I doubt if you will get any argument here. Call the white house hot line and put in a complaint.
