jerrytex, I'm not sure what a c&p is but I was told by the Waco regional office a couple weeks ago to expect an answer on my claim in 12-14 months after filing it. I have been on 20% service connected disability with them for 4 years for agent orange presumed disease. Now I have another presumed disease and they have not called my DR yet for verification 9 months after filing. Very slow and the guy from Waco regional office told me that the VA is under court order to take care of other claims first. That is why the 14 months. My claim is a 30 sec administrative decision after medical verification.
