Folks:
After 120 days, my first FDC Claim and my first ever claim ever is still stuck in "Review" at the RO? I took it to heart when I read on the new FDC Process "all evidence" and there's nothing else for VA to obtain? Since day one in the military, I kept or obtained a copy of every single piece of medical records/papers. Accordingly, I also, submitted 14 DBQ's completed with this FDC on 20 Contentions an it's all very well documented. When I asked for status from my VSO, she said the system says VBA is still "gathering evidence"? Also, she went on to say that they all (meaning her claims files) all say that anyway? I said to her, "why", this is an FDC and I already signed off that I've submitted everything anyway? I could see that if VBA was still looking for more evidence because there was more evidence to find anyway? Also, I know not to provide more paperwork after or submit another claim after you submit an FDC claim because they'll put it into the regular claims process? The only correspoindece that I received from the VA Regional Office was that at the 90 day mark the letter says that we are experincing delays? Is this normal for a well documented FDC to languish like this...I know that ebennfits is not the most up to date application...
Anybody got any suggestions of what I should do now besides just being more patient...?

rootbeer22, Since you filed an FDC with 14 DBQs and 20 contentions, you should expect to wait longer than most FDCs which usually have one or two claims or contentions. Keep in mind the rating off

NavyWife: You are always so nice and I appreciate your comments...I guess I am fortunate that I'm not out of a job or in a critical situation like some of the Vets? Many of which can't pay their bill
