1st time using this RP system... I have a claim that was filed in Nov. 2020, is it normal to still be waiting for an answer for this long? All of my other claims have been responded to, there is just this one lingering claim out there, I feel like it's lost in the system some how.

A1C Rozlynn White - You don't say who you gave Power of Attorney to for your claim... so If it was the VA, then you need to send your VA POA a request for information and make sure you include their VA File number... If your POA is the DAV or VFW or some other Veteran Organization, then follow that path with your POA... Two years is way too long for a response...

Thank you so much! I was working with an Appeals Agent outside of the VA and he has POA with the VA. I just reached out to him now. Fingers crossed :)

A1C Rozlynn White - Remember that a POA represents you, not the VA unless you select the VA as your POA... Not usually recommended...

Have you verified in ebenefits and the VA website that the claim is still pending?
Check there and see what the status is listed as. But to answer your question 2 years is way too long

Question why it was not responded to. Resubmitt!
Squeakiest wheel gets oiled first.
Plus and maybe first listen to what SGT Harkins is saying. Use advocates when you can.
