What Is The Evidence Intake Center?

[pacmanx1]

Is this an old or new way for VA to confuse a veteran?

In order to improve claim processing timeliness, Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) has begun deployment of Centralized Mail Processing (CMP) for compensation claims and claim related documents.

If you have additional evidence to submit to support your claim, please mail or fax your evidence to the applicable CMP location below. Please be sure to put your name and claim number or social security number on every page of documentation you mail or fax to VA and keep a copy of everything for your records.

When submitting claims:
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Claims Intake Center
PO Box 5235
Newnan, GA 30271-0020

The best way to send information is thru a VSO.

That way you have a second party involved with date/time stamp to verify when information was sent.

Except in my experience, they cause more harm than good they can create. I've got a date/time stamp on the receipt from the USPS, and this will not be the first time I've had to pull it out and make sure the postmark is acknowledged.

Still, you have a good point. If I had a VSO who would work with me instead of trying to drive the process toward whatever idea or end they're getting from HQS, that would be perfect.

My VSO has never assigned a person with a name to my case, to my knowledge and every time I went to see them, it was a different person with a different opinion and once it was even a VA employee "filling in for them" so they could go on a trip, no BS! On top of that, he never even id'ed himself as not being from the VSO. I never received any advice which was worthwhile, now that I have become more informed. Another crooked system...imho.

Hi Hadit members. Is there a phone number to call the intake centers? The only numbers posted connect to fax machines. I am assisting a veteran. I sent all documentation in as a FDC to the Roanoke office before the change occurred. They have scanned all documents but have scanned them to the wrong folder. Now they are saying they don't have the documents. I have sent them a letter directing them to look in the Unsolicited Documents folder, which is where all those documents are located on ebenefits. My question is, should I now send the complete claim again and this time send it to the Newnan, GA Intake Center. I don't want to confuse them any more than they already are. Thanks for any advice.

Is there ANY way to confirm that the form that was faxed to the Evidence Intake Center was actually received?
And, assuming it was received, how long should one expect before it shows up as a "Work in Progress" on ebenefits.com?

The OP (Original Post) is over a year old you should always try to start a new post instead of posting to an old post.  They are running about three weeks to a month to be up loaded on ebenefits.
