Comp. Claim & C-File

[Cope3]

I've been reviewing a lot of posts on here advising what to do while waiting for a Comp. Claim to be decided. One thing I noticed was that it's recommended to get your C-File. Which is good to hear because I put in for that first. The weird thing is the time tables though. According to eBennies,I put in my Privacy Act Request 10/14/15 and the estimated completion date is 10/24/16 - 6/20/17!! Whereas, the Comp. Claim was entered 12/22/15, was changed from "Under Review" to "Gathering of Evidence" today with estimated completion date of 5/19/15 - 9/23/15!

Definitely, not complaining about my Comp. Claim moving along quicker than expected! What I don't understand though, why is the Privacy Act Request going to take 1 - 1.5 years, compared to, the up to 9 months for the Comp. Claim? How can they decide Compensation quicker than sending me my C-File?! WTF?

If anyone has any information to add some clarity to this concern; it'd greatly be appreciated! Thanks

Where are you getting the 2/24/16 date if you don't mind me asking? 

 

Thanks!

4mydad:

eBennies> click "work in progress"> expand "open claims"> click  the "submitted date" of the claim you want to look at> scroll to bottom "Requests"

Mines shows up as 'Request 1" and shows a 'Due Date' of '2/24/16.

You trackin?

Thanks Cope3-I check ebennies account often and it only has "under review."  If I open requests it states-

maybe his claim isn't as far along as yours. 

If we submitted a FDC, why would they have until the 2/24?  Just wondering  I have quite a few unsolicited documents uploaded.

It's not showing the screen shot, but basically it states under optional docs-DBQ for PTSD increase

Yes, mine is further along than your claim. Once it goes from "Under Review" to "Gathering of Evidence", it should show requests and give due dates.

Thanks!  Good luck!
