Cancelling a Appeal

[Wjason777]

Hello

I filled and appeal back in 2011 for back, tmj, sinuses/ allergies. Etc

To make a long story short, back in 2012 they cancelled it due to failure to respond with a form 9. Which was a lie and I have proof. Didn't find out that it was closed until 2014. 

I ended up going to my local congressman and submitting all the proof that I had indeed responded on time. 

In 2015 my appeal was reopened and I received a apology from the regional appeals coach. 

With 6th year of waiting  approaching, with still no response or progress . I think it's best that I just cancel the appeal and resubmit as a regular claim. 

My questions to you guys is ,

Is that even possible to cancel and appeal?

Would it be the right thing to do at this point?

Should I go back to my local congressman to get it cancelled?

Would I still be able to use all the evidence that i submitted for the appeal?

thanks.

Congrats.  Sometimes "ask Bob" works when other stuff does not.  Yours is a good example..of a Veteran "falling through the cracks" and the RO wants to do NOTHING about it.  After all, it is not the employees check held up, but yours.
