C-File Requested Three Months Ago

[upvet]

After, a C-File request is sent to the VARO, how long does it take for them to send it.......I have been waiting three months and recieved nothing..Is this normal. My Disability compensation claim is on hold..I can not get a IMO until I get the C-File....Yikes...Is there anything I can do to speed thngs up?

My lawyer put in a request for a copy of my C-File and he never got it. I had to give him my copy which I eventually got back. The VA respects no man or woman. In that they are equal to all. "The price of war is visible here and we don't give a damn" VA motto.

The VA "goes their own way" and follows regulations when it is convienient for them to do so. There is zero accountability for the VA failing to follow their own regulations.

For example if the VA fails to follow its regulations and the result is you have to appeal, the VA collects and keeps all the interest during the long appeal period, so it is the Veteran who ultimately pays for the Va failure to follow its own regulations, including delay of compliance with the FOIA.

The VA hides behind the "cloak of the backlog" whenever there are delays.

The VA even snubs its nose at congress, defying even congress to do anything about it:

There will be more congressional hearings, and, ultimately, nothing will change. As long as there is an "internal" VAOIG, this will ensure the VA gets away with everything.

Its like having your brother as the sheriff, and, another brother is the judge.

The VA has every cash incentive to low ball or deny valid claims as Bronco has said. This is why we have to become jail house lawyers to protect our claims.
