Update my claim was completed on April 2,2019 with a packet mailed out to me. I check ebenefits for any type of new award letter or notification letter but nothing has been updated. Wondering if I got denied do ebenefits has not changed?

While electronic filing can speed up that process, someone still has to review it to determine eligibility. That human part still takes time

At this point I'd just wait until it arrives. It should come any day. There is a way to see it in eBenefits. I pulled it from a,link on my dashboard.

You cannot view the claim letter. In my case, VA .gov and ebenefits show a claim letter was mailed to me but that is not correct. They just got to that stage in my claim review and then someone started it over. Having said that, go to your benefit monthly pay in ebenefits and see if anything has changed. If you have been awarded anything, it will show us there. good luck.

VA disability compensation "award" letters are not available electronically, but you can view your VA benefits in receipt on eBenefits or VA.gov.

It seems that the VA REFUSES to ever post awards letters on our e-benefits accounts nor will they place any method to request another copy of award letters on-line. VA COMMENT PLEASE AS TO WHY NOT!!
