Question

Received an invitation to participate in a new pilot program....Is anybody familiar with this program? Any input would be appreciated:

You are invited to participate in a new pilot program designed to accelerate claims and appeals processing known as the Expedited Claims Adjudication (ECA) Initiative. Your VA regional office (RO) is one of four RO's that was selected nationwide to participate in this two-year pilot program. Please read the information below to learn more about participating in the ECA and how it could benefit you.

The ECA is a voluntary program that allows proactive veterans to have eligible claims adjudicated more quickly by agreeing to modified claims processing procedure. Under ECA, VA will still assist you in obtaining evidence needed to substantiate your claims. Further details regarding claims processing under the ECA are outlined in detail in the enclosed Agreement and Waiver of Rights. Your representative can also provide you with important information about the ECA.

This link says you have to have a lawyer to participate in this program:

These appear to be lawyers who represent vets- sounds like you need to be careful what you sign.

When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief

Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

Sounds like I'm screwed!

So much for trusting your VSO

I sure wish I'd found Hadit earlier!

Wish me luck...I think I've presented a solid claim so only time will tell.
