Usps Certified Priority Mail

The AMC gave me 30 days to send additional comments and/or evidence to their Rating Decision (denial). I had written a 5 page "Rebuttal", but decided instead, that I'd sooner send a formal Notice of Disagreement (NOD). SO I changed the subjject from Rebuttal to NOD ...

At the US Post Office, I sent 2, letter sized envelopes (pre-made by the USPS).

The first copy I addressed to the AMC; the second copy to the BVA.

I paid for both: Prioroty Mail and Certified mail, which was supposed to get there in 2-3 days! It's been 8 days, and counting!

I'm really glad I decided to send the NOD, rather than the rebuttal, because the 30 day limitation was up as of yesterday!

Now the question: what are the VA Regulations on filing deadlines or statute of limitations? If I have proof of mailing within that time frame, does it count? What if the Post Office doesn't get my package there on time, but I have proof I mailed early???? ~Wings

The AMC no longer has a telephone number! So, I called the BVA 1-800 number, and they told me --that "We never received your SSOC Rebuttal". Sonofagun! Today, I FAXED my Rebuttal to the BVA (third time is a charm?); and I Express Mailed it again!! I can not believe this ......... ~Wings

So, Wings, what does that mean for you in terms of beating their deadline? Are they going to consider it still? This is crazy..."sonofagun" is mild terminology....I would be very very upset!!

Ever hear the term "going postal"?! I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I thought I had done everything right, but when I spoke with the 1-800, BVA Telephone Operator she said, "NOD's are handled through the Regional Office".

I explained that my documents were in response to the 30 day grace period given by the AMC to reply to the AMC's SSOC.

However, I did entitle my Document, "NOD to the AMC Rating Decision". Didn't know I couldn't call it that?! Pro Se is a mother!

The most insulting thing, was that my USPS Certified Receipt, Green Slip, showing a signature from the AMC was wripped squarely in half, and my post office had taped it back together and put it in my post office box. The second Green slip, coming from the BVA, had No signature, and the white routing number was scraped off!!

I'm just going to keep sending it once a week, snail mail, until they acknowledge my documents.

I'll have to sit down tomorrow at the typewriter, and write it all out point by point and send it IRIS. The lady at the BVA 1-800 number was a sweethheart, and she said the BVA was a total MESS!! She said it needs to be audited!!

I feel so BAD, REALLY SAD for veterans who aren't even service-connected yet. I pray for them, with all my heart I pray that the divine grace of God intercedes, and moves the mail for vets!! Dear Lord, hear my prayer!

Wings, any green slips not properly signed or with the proper number on them should be returned to the USPS for proper handling. I had one come thru w/a illegible(sp) signature and returned it for proper handling. About 10 days later I received my green return receipt w/the signers printed name where it should have been. I always recommend photocopying whatever is sent w/the certified label w/number photocopied on it. This way they can't say "something was sent" but we don't know what. Also, if they can't get the proper documentation you are entitled to a refund for that service. jmo

I just want to ditto what Betty has posted here. My heart cries for you. This is complete nonsense and ought not be in this day and time. I am upset for you. But I will also be praying on your behalf.
