Getting My C-File

[63Charlie]

Need to file a NOD on a recent Tinnitus claim denial.

Sent in a request, FOIA etc., for my C-file.

VA acknowledged receiving my request on Ebennies and shows a date of 2018 when I can expect them to make a decision as they have my request categorized as a new claim.

I was thinking I read where there are specific deadlines requiring the VA to meet my demand for the C-file.

Anyone know what the time frames are requiring the VA to comply?

Doesn't it just boggle your mind that the estimated completion date for a C-file request goes into 2020???  Crazy!

Definitely not very reassuring

Ha...mine just came up on e-benefits with an estimated date from 10/12/2018 - 04/22/20120. Crazy.

The only thing that makes any sense with such outlandish wait times is this...their sole intention is to drive us towards defeat and surrendering our claims to the black hole of denial.

I thought the sole reason was to lobby for increased funding

The VA just refused to act on  my lawyer's request for a separate copy of my C-File.  When we got to the BVA hearing the judge had a stack about two feet high and we had about 7 inches of junk in random order that the lawyer finally got from the VA.   The game is so rigged in favor of denying a vet's claim it makes me want to cry.  You die the death of 1000 delays.  We now make up a small fraction of us citizens being vets.  I vote for bringing back the draft so all can enjoy the duty of serving their country in a war zone because the USA has almost be constantly at war since Korea.  They just don't call it war.
