So I originally submitted a big packet including my original MEB case and some VA records from my current VA provider. I had been to several others and even sent in the release of records information. I sent my usual 4-6 month status email into the board and got an interesting response.
Here is their complete response:
Good Morning,
Your case is currently in the records collection phase. We are awaiting your medical records from the VA. Recently our Team here has received access for the digital system to download medical records. The Team will receive their training the first week of Feb. We hope to have yours downloaded after this training. So we can move your case forward.
Respectfully,

So this is a bit of new information that might help speed things along for some people. Though not sure the end result of all this. Just thought I would pass it along.
