I can't access my ebenefits account because of Norton

Rate this question

Question

I have Norton installed on my computer. Norton has a password feature that keeps all your passwords. When I try access ebenefits, I can't because I could only use passwords stored. But I didn't store my store Ebenefits. Now I can't use Ebenefits on my computer. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Chris41 Welcome to Hadit. Best bet would be to contact their help desk and see what you need to do. You can get the number by calling 800-827-1000. They should be able to get you to someone to help.

Just request a new PW. Creating it will be an issue since it has to have several elements. I just let google generate one, then I copy and paste it somewhere in a file on my computer of running passwords.

(I AM NOT A RATER- I work the claims BEFORE they are rated, annotating medical evidence in your records, VA and Legal documents,  and DA/DD forms- basically a paralegal/vso/etc except that I also evaluate your records based on Caluza and try to justify and schedule the exams that you go to based on whether or not your records have enough in them to warrant those)

Yes, you have to do a password reset, which, you have to do about every six months or thereabouts, anyway.  

If you LIKE Norton, then "save" your password, after reset, in their password manager.  (Im not a Norton fan).  

Its not Norton's fault, however, that you did not save the password there.  Presumably, this software asks you if you want to save a password.  (password update).  

Passwords are a problem..ongoing.  "Everyone", including homeless people when you buy them a Bic Mac, want a password.  (lol)

My solution on my Mac (apple laptop) is to use Apple to store passwords.  Why Apple?

The FBI was trying to crack an apple password on an apple device.  Apple refuse to give the FBI the password.  The FBI sued apple.  Apple won.  

Apple is the largest company in the world, and if anyone has the resouces to stop hackers, it would be apple.  

Of course, Apple devices get hacked, too.  Mostly, that is because the user did not update the software regurarly.  It can be user carelessness, too.  For example, one person stored their apple password on a sticky note attached to their iphone.  Who ever stole or found the phone, then would have access.

I'm a retired IT person. I use Norton products from 1985 on. (Yes that was MS-DOS days) There is a way to delete the ebenefits profile and it will ask you if you want to save it when you update the current one.  I use a product call Roboform it has a learning curve to it if you are not computer savvy.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
