Is eBenefits supposed to update after HLR?

[ed33]

Hi everyone,

My Higher Level Review was completed last week. When my initial claim was completed ebenefits updated my "disabilities" section long before I got my decision letter. Does anyone know if the same is true for the HLR? Basically if the decision was reversed should it be already showing in eBenefits? Because it doesn't even show anything about my appeal anywhere on ebenefits.

Thanks

Hi Ed. The results will show EVENTUALLY in ebennies. It is just unreliable, indicates incorrect status from time to time and usually is late or premature. Like I said, just not reliable. The only reliable update is when you get your BBE, your decision letter. Should show in a week or so usually. Rela

got it thanks. So I guess there's still hope of an award. I'll just wait for my letter.

Well, yes. If like you said the decision was reversed. Hopefully, they were truthful to you at the review. And if you have back pay coming, do the math to confirm they didn't short change you also. If not sure, you can also appeal that as well.Go get a cup of coffee and wait. Maybe two cups!

Mine has said Closed since August 15th, no updates yet...

Not unusual. Wait for the BBE. Won't be long. By the way, if you are anticipating a big lump sum for back pay, that will also contribute even more to a delay. Good luck!

I have the same issue. My initial response for my disability decision showed up in Ebenefits the next day after it closed. It has been a week and half after HLR closed and nothing is showing in Ebenefits.
