Description
As a user, I need Congressional Inquiry tasks to not block case distribution or other tasks.
Background/context/resources
Congressional Inquiries are requests from a Congressperson or Senator on the status of a constituents claim. A decision by the Board is actually a response to that inquiry, therefore, Congressional Inquiry tasks need not be blocking tasks as there is nothing legally or procedurally that prevents VA from deciding an appeal while a Congressional Inquiry is outstanding.
