My eBenifits just updated 29Jan22 saying pending decision approval. I assume it stays this way until I EAS? I’ve only been at the PEB since 29Nov and been at the Medical Officer for like 20 days. Just wondering if I should hear my proposed ratings at least soon?
Pending Decision Approval
- Thread starter JustTryingToBePatient
- Start date
it will move to "Closed" once your proposed ratings are ready then back to "gathering evidence" while it waits for you to upload your DD214 after you get your ratings and get out.
once it says closed you can call the va to get your proposed ratings letter for total rating and narrative letter for ratings broken down by claim emailed to you. they may tell you they cant tell you, just call back till you get someone who will send them.

try towards closing (they close at 9pm) they are less likely to fight you on it since they just want to go home.
1-800-827-1000, its always gonna be a bit back and forth with the VA
Contact the VA’s 1(800) number, tell them you’ll need your decision letter via email since you are in the middle of moving. Tell them your P.O. Box will be set up a couple days out, but be sure to keep your correct address on file when they ask. This is how I received my documents via email with no problem/concerns.
I just contacted the VA MSC on base. Got my proposed ratings
Good News??
O yea 100 P&T with SMC-K
Nice. Congrats!
Whats SMC-K?
Special Monthly Compensation Category K gives extra Special Monthly Compensation based solely on the loss of (amputation or removal) or loss of use of a body part or function. This is in addition to: Regular VA Disability compensation.
not entirely, im SMC-K but im not bed ridden, it can also mean the loss of the ability to procreate.
I’m still able to work. Mine is due to some meds causing reactions like ED.
Are proposed ratings from VA pretty solid? PEBLO said it could change. Did she mean I can always add other claims later? Or that I may not get my full proposed percentage?
From what I have seen proposed ratings are pretty solid, but you can add other claims after you get out. I haven't seen a VA rating be underneath what they proposed, I've only seen percentages go up
