Congratulations!

Good afternoon! I received the BBE from the BVA and all of my contentions were remanded by the BVA Judge. I’m fine with the remand; however, I believe the judge made an error writing my decision and I wanted to pick some brains. Two of my contentions, my right and left ankles were on appeal for a higher rating of 10 percent each. The judge remanded both ankles for and entitlement to initial rating in excess of 20 percent each. I wonder if the 20 percent is a typo or if the judge is directing the RO to begin the rating at 20 percent after the C&Ps. Have anyone seen this type of decision before? Thank you!

When Judges are swapped out at the BVA
Sailorman replied to Sailorman's question in VA Disability Claims Research
I have a vets.gov account. Thank you I will keep checking. -
My traditional appeal has been going in awkward direction. I know eBenefits is not reliable but in my case it has been because I confirmed my changes with the BVA ombudsman. I’ve been been battling back and forth with the BVA for 25 years. However, I’m just caught of guard with the BVA’s recent development. The Judge and her team of her attorney’s that was reviewing my case temporarily placed my folder back in the storage room. My appeal status was “waiting in line to be placed on docket.” My claim was only in that status for a few days and then my claim was then changed to “with appeals judge.” I learned my claim was reassigned to a new judge, which is the previous judges supervisor. Has anyone experienced this or any know what may be going on?

Yesterday, I received a call from Client Service regarding my Appeal that’s currently on the the BVA Judges desk. I missed the call; however, the lady left a message stating that she will call me back. I called the number back that was on my caller ID and the operator stated the lady that called just wanted to give me an update on my Appeal and will call me back. Has this happened to anyone else? I had several appeals go through the Board but never have I received a call about my Appeal. What is Client Services? Thank you!

Will do, broncovet. Thank you very much.

Would it be a CUE if the RO failed to render a decision on a claim or defer a contention in its decision? They rendered a decision on all other contentions but failed to address one. Thank you!
