Things That Slow Down Veterans Claims

[Guest jstacy]

I have compiled a list of items that slow down Veterans.

#1 A Regional office in a highly populated area. ( example) Tampa,

#2 Submitting a new claim while a claim is in progress.

#3 Contact with a Congress person adds 60 days to the claim.

#4 Medical Evaluations like multi stystem C@P's that can take months to get the reports.

#5 Government and other places that are too slow sending requested medical information.

#6 A vet not sending in the VCAA notice. ( A lot of Vets are mislead to think it is the VA responsibility to submit the records)

#7 Inefective and incompetent Veterans Service Officers who are nothing but claim filing factories with no working Knowledge of how the system operates.

If anyone would like to add to this, Please feel free to do so.

You are in the BVA, remand, BVA cycle of birth and rebirth. It is sort of Zen like thing.

Yeah, I know. We don't dwell on it much, we just annoy the hell out of the VARO and the AMC calling every week to determine if the file's been sent back to the VARO.

Once we find out they've got it back, we'll start pushing for them to handle the claims that have been accumulating over the last 2+ years. We've got a CUE sitting there, an 1151, plus several claims for earlier effective dates. They hate us...
