Ken1 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 It has been two years since I filed my 21-526. In August 2009 I files my NOD. In August 2009 I requested a copy of my "C" file and still waiting? My local VSO is no help he is appointed by the county government board, family connection. An Attorney told me that I should not use any of my state political aids, that would just red flag my file and slow it down. This has been a very discouraging process and even more difficult to stay motivated to push your claims. Thanks for any replies Ken1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorious Kelly Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I submitted request at VRO in July 2009. They said they'll mail letter with a 2-week window in which I can come in and view it. When I checked back a month later, the rep said there are 600 people ahead of me. Still no word. I also can't get a copy of my service records because they are at the VRO. In hindsight I'd request copy of service records Before submitting claim. All the best, Ken! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdnkjeeper Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 It took me 5 or 6 months to get a copy of mine. Now my Nod was in March 09....still waiting.....so remember to give the VA some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any replies Ken1 Sometime you have to take action to retrieve your records it took me writing my Congressman and he requested them for me. It can be any time frame there on there own time...I would call or request again or get with your VSO to find out the status,,,Good luck Yogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted November 6, 2009 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 6, 2009 FYI Update It has taken 76 days from request date to recieve date Hey Ken, Which RO sent them? My RO told me there were about 700 people in front of me and it would take three months. I figure I would give them about 45 days, because I did not want to risk eating up my appeal/NOD window.
