  The current theoretical status of the Lamb shift in He+ is discussed. Recent
calculations of two-loop binding corrections to the Lamb shift significantly
shift the theoretical value of the "classic" Lamb shift in He+, i.e. of the
2S_1/2-2P_1/2-interval. In this brief research note, we present a new
(theoretical) value for this interval which reads 14041.474(42) Mhz. The
theoretical uncertainty is reduced as well as the discrepancy between theory
and experiment. Planned measurements should be of help in further elucidating
the situation.
