DRC (Decision Ready Claims)

[pwrslm]

I was in the VSO's office today (Florida dept of Vet Affairs) and asked about the 30 day program. 
VA advertises this as :

The Decision Ready Claims (DRC) Program is the fastest way to get your VA claim processed. You can get a decision on your claim in 30 days or less by working with an accredited Veterans Service Organization (VSO) or other accredited representative.

At first the  Rep had no clue what I was talking about. When he finally broke down and admitted he did, he stated that it was a headache and they did not use it because then they had to coordinate the C&P exams. The whole thing appears to be a joke on Veterans. Anyone have different results in this program yet?

I believe they (John & Jerrel )  had a retired DRO Bill Creager on last Mondays show that talked about the DRC's . Dr Bash was also on the show.

I had bad connection or the audio part was having problems  I could not understand them.

  but he did talk about the DRC. And he also mention a rater has so many units to process , if he is working on your claim at say 3:00 pm  ..and started back to work the next day,  he may work another claim and then go back that the claim he was working on the day before..or something like this  I could barley hear him

I think he said they usually take the easy claims first and then work other claims because they have so many claim (units) they have to do in a certain amount of time....>  if I understood him...easy claims maybe the DRC?

Hers a link to that show

If the DRC  ( Decision Ready Claims)are decided within 30 days  vs 90 days on a FDC claim. ( Fully Developed Claims) 125 days in Ramp.

.I really don't see why Veterans opt into the RAMP Program?

I mean if you have all your Evidence ,Dr's Reports favorable to your claim & all t's & i's crossed  and everything is a go

Why not use the DRC?

The reason he said they were not using the DRC was because they didnt have time or resources to get the DBQ's done. According to him and the VBA at the Lk Nona VAMC, the DRC program doesnt exist because the VSO's just dont or wont use it.

It would be a great program if they were able to get the DBQs done but they have not even taken the first steps to coordinate it. Its a sham at this point, good press, but nothing else.
