Update On Time Frame For Bva Appeals

[broncovet]

I just got off the phone with the DAV, as well as the BVA. According to both of them, the BVA is currently adjuticating BVA claims docketed in 2008, and wont likely reach 2009 docketed appeals until late 2011 or early 2012. So, if you have a claim waiting at the BVA, you can keep this in perspective.

Hope this helps. Of course, if you have a hardship, etc and are eligible for an "advance on the docket", this does not apply.

Essentially, the BVA is 3 years behind...AFTER the claim is docketed.

According to the NY Times and Veterans for common sense, the delay in Veterans claims is, in no small part, due to Obama's failure to appoint 3 desperately needed new judges to the CAVC:
