How Long From Varo Mailroom To Development Team?

[Ron II]

Does anyone have an idea of how long information takes to get from the VARO mailroom/receiving area to the development area or the appeals section?

I suspect it varies from case-to-case and from VARO to VARO. An approximation is all I am requesting.

Thank you,

Ron

Addendum:

I just found out that information pertaining to my new material is already on the VARO's computer (logged in). Mailed on the 4th; logged in 15th--pretty fast.

Thanks,

That is fast. I would do as you have done which is to double check to see if it is in the computer after you mail it. I just don't see how this stuff can get lost, but my VARO gets thousands of letters every day. I think they told me 10,000 letters a day from vets.

Hi John and Betty,

It was surprisingly fast. I just hope they get around to reviewing the documentation within the next few months. I have certainly learned some lessons during the past 20 months (which I know is not very long in VA world). I naively thought I could run through the system since I had significant experience in interpreting regulations and laws, plus I had co-authored research proposals after retirement from the Army so I had writing experience.

It wasn't long before I was humbled by the system...

The system has a way of doing that to a person.

Yes, you have that right! I quickly learned that rhetoric means nothing. As Joe Friday on Dragnet

always said, "Just the facts ma'mam, just the facts."
