Can I ask what your claims were? If not I completely understand. Mine are PTSD and Bipolar (I know they'll combine them into one rating) and achilles tendon rupture/surgery. I'm waiting on ratings and have no idea where they'll land. I'm on medication for the mental health conditions and can function decent with them.

Main unfitting condition;
Bipolar II Disorder (50% VA/DOD)
My other conditions were;
Right Knee Strain (10% VA)
Left Knee Strain (10% VA)
Lumbosacral Strain (10% VA)
Bilateral Shin Splints (0% VA due to not receiving treatment for 12 consecutive months)
Just an FYI. One more condition with 10% and your VA total rating goes from 60% VA rating to 70%. You should look at adding Tinnitus when you get out. Most people have it after serving and you can get 10% for it.
My total VA rating is already 70%
Okay then you must be missing one listed. 50% + 10% + 10% + 10% = 64% which is 1% shy of being rounded up to 70%.
I am not sure because those are the only conditions and ratings that are on the VA memo I received from my PEBLO yesterday.
Wow Nice. Maybe the VA calculator at Hill & Pontoon is off. Who knows. Congrats on getting it to 70%!
Could you please elaborate on where to find "preparation for decision" within ebenefits? Thank you and pending any questions.
Would also like to know where in the ebenefits page can I find "pending decision for Approval". When I go into ebenefits and try to get information or updates, I cannot find anything. Is it within the work in progress section? Thanks again
Once logged into eBenefits, on the left side menu of the screen, click “Disabilities” and scroll down under “Pending Disabilities”, click “View Pending Claim” near one of your claimed conditions. This should show you the status.
Thank you for the quick response and assistance.
