Mr. XXX
This is in response to your recent inquiry dated 8/3/2015 asking what it means when your file is notated "DOMA". In your case, you submitted VAF 21-4142a on 7/23/2015 via eBenefits. This was your request asking us to obtain records from Baptist Hospital, Dr Jerry Chandler and Dr. Ian Weisberg. A VA contractor, DOMA Technologies, assists numerous VA Regional Offices in obtaining these records from non-VA providers. So in your case, on 8/1/20154, a request was sent to DOMA asking them to request the records you asked us to obtain in support of your claim or appeal.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at our National Call Center between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM EST and an agent would be glad to answer them.
Thank you for your service.

The bad news is that I sent this form telling the VA that I did not have any more information to submit. Nowhere did I tell the VA to contact these people. This just kicks my case further down the road. Guess I will have to call Peggy again!!
