Isn't it a 3-year statute of limitations? So how could 3-year olds have

passed that limit? And if the parents are being told it's a dead case,

why does HHS need their medical records???????????

I think that they are finally going to start hearing these cases soon

(pending results of Cedillos and other test cases) There has been

discussion by the uscfc that they were going to start requesting

records several at a time so that they wont have to do it all at once.

http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/node/2718 click on 3/27/08 and then go

to bottom of page 3 into page 4. I wish they would ask for ours!!! Holly

I think what they are looking at is timely filing of medical records.

not statute of limitations. Hope that helps. Holly

The statute is 3 years from the date of injury, not from birth. So, if your

child regressed or

had a reaction at 15 mos, 18 mos, or 2 years, etc.,the statute would start from

that date.

also there are 12 months to be 3 before your child will turn 4. so if your child is vacc'd at 6 months and has an immediate reaction, they would have till 3 years 6 months to file. that leaves another 6 months of being age 3 which would be beyond the statute of limitations.

We recently got a letter out of the blue requesting we sign new

medical release forms. We filed in 2002 and had hardly heard a word

about it since. When I called about it I was told that the court was

going to slowly go through the cases a handful at a time and they

were updating our file to be ready.

I appreciate you posting this, I was curious about the status of the

other cases--it would be nice to have a yahooboard to share info

about this that isnt trolled like all the other autism boards.
