VCAA Notice Responce

[carp48]

I received my first paperwork today since filing my claim. I understand most of it but want to be sure on the VCAA Notice Responce.
I will be sending in all of my medical records from the various Doctors who have
been involved with my PC plus two other documents that they want.
There will be additional treatment in the future but I don't at this time have
documentation for it.
My question, is on the VCAA Notice there are two choices. You have or you
don't have any information or evidence to support my claim. Since I am sending in all of the documents that I have at this time I'm assuming I should check the
first box indicating I have no additional info etc. at this time. Would this be correct? This would eliminate the 60 day period the way I read it. It also tells you that regardless of which box you check you have one
year from the date of the notice to give the VA additional info or evidence.
I would appreciate any help. I searched the forums here but want to clarify
for my own peace of mind. Thanks, Mike

I would go ahead and send all the medical documentation you have along with the VCAA notice response and check the box "I have no further evidence to submit." With the current backlog it will probably certainly be more than 60 days before anyone at your regional office will be able to do anything with your claim anyways. Once you do receive more medical documentation, simply submit it at that time.

Thank you Vike17, I figured that was what I should do but wanted to reassure
myself by hearing it from someone who has had experience before.
Thanks again, Mike
