CAVC; The U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims

[Michael Philip Oliver]

Just wondering how many V.A. Claims are older than mine was before we finally made it to the CAVC? Nine Years...Filed Feb. 2006.

My first minor victory during my 1st year at the CAVC was having the Court deny V.A./B.V.A.'s Request for Dismissal; because "Veteran was Late appealing NOD".

The TRUTH was that the V.A. Regional's "Delivery" of the BVA "Final Decision" sent to me via 1st Class postage was 442 days not received.

Veteran Claimant had PROOF that V.A./B.V.A. were late and NOT Veteran. Off record, Veteran believes V.A. and CA Veterans Affairs; conspired to defraud Veteran.

The 2nd "victory" has been agreement from Appellee and Appellant's Counsel that ERROR existed and Remand was mutual agreement.

NOW we go back to the B.V.A./V.A., but STORY is different; Veteran now has legal Counsel and V.A./B.V.A. will have Order from Court for Expeditious ....

Just so you know ...

"Expeditious" can mean 6 months or a lot more.

My CAVC case was remanded back in May, and I'm still awaiting a decision.

My docket number at BVA is 07-00000, originally filed 2004.

I couldn't find your CAVC case but I did pick up on something else in a search.....and might just be a coincidence,.....

in any event..........

was the Hagel memo critical to your claim?

"The 2nd "victory" has been agreement from Appellee and Appellant's Counsel that ERROR existed and Remand was mutual agreement."

Was that what the error involved?

Remands...in my opinion,and personal experience,  whether from the BVA back to the RO, or remands from the CAVC should be followed ,if possible, by the claimant themselves, to the best of their ability.

To clarify...I mean the Chuck Hagel memo ( I think someone at CAVC has last name of Hagel too) regarding incountry Vietnanm vets who got bogus bad paper discharges as described here:

Ms berta

Elementary question

Can a veteran follow appeals/remands on E-benefits?

Do they put everything on E-benefits?

IF Not how does the Veteran follow his appeal / remands?
