Amc..how To Keep Your Claim Out Of There?

[broncovet]

Is anyone familiar with the AMC..that is, specifically how do I keep my claim from going there? I have heard horror stories, that the

AMC is like the "Roach Motel" in that once you check in to the AMC your claim will never get out of there. Is this the place where the VA holds claim appeals while they wait for the Veteran to die? No one that I have ever heard of has ever gotten a claim out of AMC successfully..if you have, please speak up. Others, however, have said something about their claim being at AMC for 5 years while nothing happens on it.

I can not understand the purpose of AMC. Do they forward claims to the BVA or CAVC? Do they decide claims? Is this the headquarters of the "Bureau of Bureacracy" of the VA, because I thought it was ALL VA employees job to complicate and confuse each Veteran to delay his claim for as long as possible rather than have that done all at the AMC.

Please post your experience at AMC, good, bad, or indifferent.

The BVA put it in writing in the remand letter that a decision letter was not sent to me in 1973. Ken carpenter is treating it as an unadjudiated claim.

I wrote the AMC several times about this and highlighted the BVA remand letter where it states as such, but they simply ignored it, wasn't even mentioned in the rating decision.

That is why I contracted with Ken Carpenter.

The AMC knows what to ignore.
