Started TDIU claim August 12, 2010. Had C&P's very quickly. Decision phase by Feb, 2011. Two days before claim hit 1 year mark it was sent to Buffalo. They immediately out it back in Development. I got a letter from them JUST like the letter I got when my claim first started.
We have recieved your application for benefits. It is our sincere desire to decide your case promptly. However, as we have a great number of claims, action on yours may be delayed. We are now in the process of deciding whether additional evidence or information is needed. If we need anything from you, we will contact you, so there is no need to contact us in the meantime.
This sounds like I was put at the bottom of the pile in Buffalo, like I just started the claim? Is that how it works? Should I be expecting another entire year or more, or do I get some priority because I'm a year in, already sent everything they asked for, and had my C&P's. They should not be able to send a claim back to development without stating what is it the claim was missing in order for them to make that decision. Where Buffalo has never seen my case, do they just start over from scratch? Is there any way to contact Buffalo to see what they have and what they do not? I sent in several things (through my VSO) that eBenefits show as never arriving. But the 1-800 can see them.
Sorry so many questions, I just feel right now like I am missing something, and once they make that decision, nomatter how stupid their mistake, it will still take me FOREVER to get it straightened out.
