RBrogen Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone here had requested their C-File via FOIA request and if so how long did it take to get it. I submitted my request March 7, 2019 and have had 2 estimated completion dates go by with no results. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed up a couple of weeks later with a call to VA to have them check status and told them I didn't see it on E-Benefits. Shortly after, it appeared. Also, after the legal 20 days of time had passed for the VA to supposedly comply with the FOIA, they say to send a FOIA appeal, which I did but after a couple of months given that I knew the VA would never comply with the 20 days. interesting...thank you for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I needed to get a copy anyway. As soon as this claim closes, I will file the next one. GeekySquid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar situation where I had a undeniably inadequate C&P that I documented over 14 major issues. The examiner's boss even said they agreed I should get a new C&P, it just got reopened so we'll see how it goes. Patton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that he could see that I had issues during service, I am being seen for it at the VA and my IMO had everything needed to be awarded. All the C&P Examiner needed to do was record how many flare ups I have in a year and the level of pain. It will be interesting to see if they order a third C&P Exam.

I would bet they do an additional C&P .... it's a strategy to try and get vets to miss an appointment so they can outright deny or get frustrated with the repetitive BS and quit trying.

Question
RBrogen
Out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone here had requested their C-File via FOIA request and if so how long did it take to get it. I submitted my request March 7, 2019 and have had 2 estimated completion dates go by with no results.
Thanks in advance!
