Can a VA claim stay in the gathering evidence stage forever? If no what is the cutoff time frame for how long a claim can stay open? Thanks for any info.

Well this why I do my owe stuff.

1993 injury release told go to va hospital for help no use of my left arm. 23 years old

Granted 10% under gunshots wound I don't have a gunshot wound. Smh

98.00 a month wife two kids 1993-2001

I had a vso who did the nod back than.

Fast forward to 2000 I found hadit on the web. Learn what a cue was.

I apply for for tdiu and neck/arm/hand. 

Dro grants tdiu 60% pt  2000-2001.

2004 I cue the 1993 decision it go to the board.

Board finds the regional office in buffalo never cretifed my appeal from 1993 to the board.

It remain pending in appeal status.

Granted tdiu 60% pt back to 1993-2001. 8 years retro.

This is why I believe veterans have to learn the law cfr va manual cavc decisions. Bva decisions.
