I went to a new VSO (same organization - TN DVA) on Aug. 13th and filed a NOD on a July 28th rating decision. I haven't heard anything from the VA yet. My VSO says it could take 60 days before I hear anything at all but I don't remember it taking this long with a NOD I filed a couple years ago. I'm trying hard to be patient but don't want to wait too long either.
I may have mentioned this before, but I'm worried because I received a request for further information and sent in medical records & a statement in support of my claim in April and those records were ignored. When I made an IRIS inquiry about the records I'd filed, they came back saying: "Our records do not indicate receipt of the packet sent by your VSO after April 13, 2010; however, it appears that we received similar documents on February 16, 2010. If you feel that your packet was not received, you can resend the information via U.S. mail or fax". I followed up by requesting my C-file and found date stamped (4/20/10) evidence that they had received my packet. Everything I'd sent was in my c-file. This is upsetting to me because there were medical records, pertinent to one of my claims and that evidence is not shown in my decision letter. I'm at a loss and the new VSO doesn't offer much support on how to follow thru.
Any suggestions on how should I proceed? How long should I wait to hear about the NOD I filed on 8/13/10?
