Did I just mess my "pending notification" claim up by adding a dependent?

I have a claim in "Pending Decision Approval". I noticed that one of my dependents was missing so I went in to add my daughter and edit my oldest son to indicate that he is in school.

When I hit submit I noticed I created a new compensation claim and see the verbage that creating a new claim will automatically close the other one and lump them together.

This is not what I want to happen. I realize calling tomorrow I'll probably find out what I have to do -- but, did I Just mess myself up?

No adding a dependant will not hurt nor delay your claim
