If, prior to FO transfer, the EDCS user must take a no-determination action on the
last pending claim in a case:
-
1.
The user manually commits any Internet documents that should be retained in the electronic
folder (e.g., medical evidence) before taking the no-determination action.
-
2.
EDCS disassociates any previously associated documents that have not been committed
to the EF.
-
3.
All document updates, such as notes, document type changes, and retention actions
remain with the document. EDCS will not reset the document updates to their original
state.
-
4.
If a user accesses the case after the no-determination action, the Internet Documents
page will be a read-only page.
-
5.
If the user accesses the Preview Internet Documents page after the no-determination
action, the documents will appear in the search results under the document’s SSN.
-
6.
Any documents the EDCS user previously committed to the case will be viewable in eView.
Note: Disassociating documents when the last claim in the case is an FO determination
allows the documents to be systematically associated to a new case, at case creation,
if the new case has the same Internet Control ID as the disassociated documents. It
also allows documents to be re-associated if an EDCS user reactivates the case.
