Case Closed

[scooter318]

Hi Everyone

I posted this morning asking about the completion date, and I just saw that now my case has been closed. Seeing that it's closed could I call the 800 number and find out what the outcome is  or can I have the law firm that representing me find out or do I just wait.

You can check on ebennies on your disabilities page, or by VA summary/benefits letters. Some people try and call Peggy, but I don't think they do that over the phone. Hope the news is positive for you!

If you don't mind me asking what is Peggy?

scooter318 Peggy is what we affectionately call the VA info line on claims. 800-827-1000. Take whatever they tell you with a grain of salt; it is verbal and some reps are much better in getting accurate info to you.

Peggy will not tell you the outcome of your claim, they will tell you to wait for your letter.  If you have a VSO or lawyer though they should be able to access VBMS and tell you the status though.

Is this a new claim or a existing claim ? The reason I ask is if you already a claim open (a new claim) and you open another, usually what will happen is they will close your most recent claim and "combine" it with the other.

 Hi Miken2c74

This a claim that I filed back in December of 2018 for an increase.
