Question
NSA-Saigon-ET
I checked the VA spreadsheet yesterday for the AO claims workload. I was dismayed to notice a slowing for the last 2 weeks.
Reopened or new Agent Orange claims prior to 8/30/10 * 681 7,040 6,674 94.8%
Nehmer review cases based upon new Agent Orange presumptives * 687 73,738 69,967 94.9%
I mainly follow the EP681 claims as mine is in that stack. The VA figures reported since the first of the year showed an average of 2000 claims finished nationwide per week until the last 2 weeks. The last 2 weeks it slowed by over 50% by week.
I believe that they have worked all the easy claims and now are working thru the more complex ones, which really is eating up time. I keep calling the call center for updates and have found that my own claim has been back and forth between rating and development since February 24 to now and they still haven't rated it yet. This is at the Waco, Tx RO.
