HLR closed without taking care of duty to assist error corrections

[msvj3 0]

Hi,

I am praying that someone could help me.  I had a Higher Level Review.  They found several duty to assist errors and was suppose to send it to the AOJ for corrections.  My HLR closed but the duty to assist errors were sent for correction.  I called the 800 number and informed them what was done, I called and asked to speak to a supervisor, I sent a letter through IRIS and I sent a letter to the intake center alerting them all of what was done.  To date, no one has answered my calls or emails.  My case is suppose to be expedited due to hardship.   Is there any one else who I could talk to that would look in to this?  This has been going on for about a month now.

When did these events happen? Did you tell them at each step that it was a hardship? Did you try the white house number also? The corrections or "remands" can take a while to accomplish but have to be completed prior to the VA making a final decision.

With what GB mentioned and what you have already done I know of no other avenue to correct or speed this up other than a request to your congressman or senator.  Hang in there, it may seem like an eternity but a month is a pittance to the VA.  NOD's under the old system are out two years right now.

Do you have access to Myhealthvet? (ebenefits?) if not you can check with your VAMC and have an account given to you..if no computer? then

  you can go see the VBA (Veterans Benefit Administration)ask to see a VSO and you go back with him and request he look into the VBMS (Veterans benefit Management  System) and find all this information your asking about.

you will need his claim # ss #full name 'address & date of claim.

if its not in the VBMS then ask this VSO what you can do or who to contact to help you guys get this claimed processed under the  38CFR 61.1 special regulations of having your claim expedited because of your extreme circumstances of your Hardship.
