I filed an informal disability claim a year ago and then the followed (provided the evidence) FDC 6 months with all evidence and 14 DBQ's to the Regional Office. Both are one and the same so- Informal 12/2014 and the main claim was 6/30/2014. So, In August I filed a FOIA because folks from Hadit.com said to ensure that the C-File had everything in it because of problems on this site idntified with other vets. So, it stayed in "Review" until yesteday (6 months) when I cancelled th FOIA. So today status changed to "gathering evidence" but the expected completion date now changed from 02/16 all of the way to 4/17? (approx 2.5 years) Obviously, cancelling the FOIA had an effect and it looks like I was penalized for requesting the FOIA? Also, it says that the developmental letter was fianlly sent so I should see that soon? Anyway there's two issues I need your help with.
The first issue is that the problem is that I filed an FDC and "absolutely" all of the evidence that was/is "available" anywhere was provided in my inital claim. I work with medical records so I've absolutley provided everything that could be is there? So,
1. First, it's obvious that they shifted my FDC to a Regular Claim now and that's the reason for the date changes...do you agree on this? Has this happened to others...recently?
2. Is there a process to certify that I've already provided the records are there..Frankly, I did that when I filed the FDC in the first place and would not have gone to all if the pain of providing 14 DBQ's and the time and effort that that took?
