Rate this question

Question

I had a C&P exam on the 29th and the has been completed on the 31st that's fast. I don't know if that's good or bad, the claim is for IU they say the letter will be mailed out on the 4th. I checked the A8B letter no changes to it yet hopefully it changes on the 4th. If any one has any thoughts please post them. Thanks

Yes, Buck.  I emailed Allison Hickey, and that is how I finally got the VARO "off their duff" and got them to complete the implementation of a BVA remand in "only" 3 years, and finally got back to the BVA in a mere 8 years.    VA looks for glitches to place your claim on hold, just like they did mine.  Remember, they did not even adjuticate the TDIU for 6 years, until 2008, even after I repeatedly requested they do just that.   Now, I am going on 14 years, total, for a BVA decision, and, if it takes another 3 years to implement THAT one also, this will be 17 years or more.  I see how Alex went 20 years, as its possible mine takes more than 20 years for VA to finally get it right.  

I remember a Vet telling me, back in 2002, that his claim had taken 5 years.  I could not beleive that there was any way VA could delay a claim 5 years.  Now I know that 5 years is mostly a minimum, with appeals, which is about 80 percent of the time.

broncovet, Just my opinion here

but I think when a veteran already SC. FOR A 90% or higher % they tend to not get in a hurry for that veterans claim...why? I think maybe they do the younger veterans claims before vs working an older vets claim...sure seems like it .

nothing against the younger veterans  & I realize they also have to wait long times for their claims too

broncovet you should try to write your congressman or anyone higher up as for as helping with VA Claims

have you contacted The New Undersecretary of VA?

After all,  older veterans might just croak before the claim is completed. If the survivors don't know how to substitute,

the government (VA) wins!

broncovet,

Just a thought?

 but could you send your claim to another RO to one that is not so over logged? and ask them to work/decide your claim with all your evidence presented...because your claim has be  waiting for 13 years at your present RO..And you request the New RO expedite your claim.ASAP

because some RO's Are not ''BACKLOGGED'' as most of the others are.
