eBenefits symbols?

Question:

Hi Jim! I filed two secondary claims connected to PTSD. They show up on my eBenefits page now with a return symbol under the PTSD rating since the decision has just been made. Any idea what that means??

 

Jim's Reply:

Hmmm, not really. As a rule a return symbol is an active link that when clicked will take you back to where you were on a web page or site.
 

But...this is the VBA and they are extraordinarily creative in their use of common symbols, icons and definitions. VBA will always try to make good better by making it more complex, obtuse and hard to follow. If you click it and it doesn't go anywhere, it likely means nothing. If it appears to be an active link but won't take you anywhere, when you hover over it you should see a small display in your browser about where it would/should link to. 
 

In the end the eBenefits web site is sort of the AOL of today, a good idea but not up to snuff...it has some small purpose and it sort of functions but does nothing very well. Take anything you see there with a large grain of salt.
