"the director and assistant director were initially placed on administrative leave but now have been detailed to other work sites to complete assigned projects."

I've had the "move the date ploy", played on me many times.

Resently, i've called every month since May and was read a defferent date each time off their computer screens, for when the order for another VA medical opinion was made.

Im consistantly told it was ordered, but the order hasn't been sent yet. I never can get a straight answer on dates or why it hasn't been sent out if thats what is holding up processing the claim? The rater orders an med opinion, but than they wait six months to a year to order it?

This is what I call intentional delay.

but now have been detailed to other work sites? Yea! That should do it.

This is not the same thing, but I found, at least in my case, every time I sent a piece of evidence, the VARO took the opportunity to extend the dates one could possibly expect a review (i..e., a new suspense date was given to provide any more new evidence).

I have gone from being supportive of the VA to having the very worst impression of any agency I have ever dealt with and THAT includes the IRS and back taxes.

People are excited about Shredder Gate , but what about the fact that even if your evidence gets to the VA, and dates are not changed the VA is going to pick and choose which parts of your evidence they are going to evaluate. The regs say they must evaluate "ALL" the evidence of record before making a rating decision. We all know they hardly ever do this. Benefit of doubt....you got to be kidding! This is more confirmation that the present system of rolling the dice until you win needs to be junked. Not to mention the VA oten uses the most recent piece of evidence to assign an effective date, or even the date of a C&P exam.
