It could be classified as a more "on demand" type of update system.<br /><br />It is updated every time the status of your claim has a significant update such or a change in the overall status (i.e., Received, Closed, Ready to Work, etc.). The statuses are inputted manually by the claims processor as they work through your claim.<br /><br />There is also a difference between the claim information that you see on eBenefits and the claim status information that is within the internal VA system (not different in status, but difference in fidelity).<br />--------------------------------------------------------<br />* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.knowva.ebenefits.va.gov/system/templates/selfservice/va_ssnew/help/customer/locale/en-US/portal/">https://www.knowva.ebenefits.va.gov/system/templates/selfservice/va_ssnew/help/customer/locale/en-US/portal/</a> [login to see] 01018/content/ [login to see] 06605/What-type-of-claim-status-information-will-be-available-on-eBenefits<br />* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.knowva.ebenefits.va.gov/system/templates/selfservice/va_ssnew/help/customer/locale/en-US/portal/">https://www.knowva.ebenefits.va.gov/system/templates/selfservice/va_ssnew/help/customer/locale/en-US/portal/</a> [login to see] 01018/content/ [login to see] 36576/Appendix-D-Index-of-Claim-Stage-Indicators <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
