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?

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?  

Since the OP (Original Post) is a few years old, if you have a specific question, it is likely that someone on this board has gone through it. Just ask your question.

Yes indeed! Press ignore button on that one! Online the claims update is useless IMO!

Bull shigaty. Most of the time, they just read on the computer what you see as well. They can't and will not give out any more info.

they can go back and forth for no reason.  don't check everyday as it will drive you crazy!  It is not done until you receive your envelope.  

You could be all done, or they wanted to ask clarification of questions or a dozen other things.
