and under issues it

 

and also under issues it states compensation issue

 

a decision letter has been mailed and the review is now closed

It means just what it says:  You need to wait for the envelope which should arrive in a few days, and you should know the outcome of your decision soon.

This is also my status.  I assume this a normal part of the process.

By the way- has your ebenefits disabilities screen changed?  Mine was updated with the new decision either the same day or day after.  I went from no service-connected to 50%.

Like Bronco states you need to wait for the envelope. It will tell you what they decided. 

Good luck!!!!

@lahunt and @Willy P,

If you filed through a VSO, they might be able to look in the VA's VBMS system and print out the rating decision letter. If you did not file through a VSO, you could opt to contact the VA regional office to see if you could pick one up in person. I always recommend calling them because you want to ensure they have it and know the best hours to go. 

My claim was closed last Monday morning and I visited my VSO during lunch to get a printout. I received the original letter arrived in the mail over this past weekend. My VSO is a couple of hours closer then the VA regional office.

Once you get your letter, go through it carefully. The VA might have made a mistake. Common mistakes include them improperly denying a claim or not granting the maximum rating percentages allowed under the law. It could be as simple as not properly reading a field on the C&P exam. To tie everything together, you might need to get copies of any C&P examinations and compare everything against the VA's rating criteria for your specific disabilities.

Welcome to Hadit! ~~~ When the VBA makes a decision they have to draft up your award letter and are effectively finalizing your claim ~~~

When they say "Compensation Issue" they are either auditing/calculating your back pay, if any.
