NOTES FROM BOB KELLEY ON e-Benefits!
E-benefits.. remember to enroll someone already receiving benefits 800-827-1000 option 7, 800-538-9522 for E-benefits log-in issues, another help desk number for E-benefits is 800-983-0937.
Remember submit everything the FIRST time, Medical evidence (outside provider), Statements, etc.. anything received after the FDC is started will most likely kick them out of FDC.
This is the future as Mike Stephens put it, I know IDVA is working on getting software that will integrate with E-benefits so hopefully in the future issues will be resolved. I have extra computers in my office that I have Veterans obtain E-benefits accounts and they do VRAP, 686C, etc.. on those machines.

From the Spencer County Veterans' Service Office:
On Monday the 9th of September 2013 the Spencer county chapter of rolling thunder escorted the “Wall that Heals” from Dale In to Grandview In. There were 159 motorcycles escorting the Wall. The video was taken as we entered Grandview. Anyone wanting to view it should go to You Tube and search for Wall that Heals/Grandview In and turn up the volume. AWESOME.
