E-ben stat help please

So my lawyer and I both received, Statement of the Case, and have been waiting for my case to be moved to the BVA. I logged onto E-ben today to see if there is anything new. Here is what it says now under claim stat.

• Current Progress: Appeal pending - Notice of Disagreement           Location: Originating VA Officef

A little backstory... Not to long ago it basically said that a decision has been made and is waiting to be transfered to the BVA. The only action my lawyer took after getting the SOC was to have my VA doctor fill out a form stating I couldn't hold gainful employment. Basically the document my va doc filled out countered the VSO's reason to deny me 100% or IU. Now e-ben has my case back to this step. But the VA has not informed me or my lawyer of anything and according to my laywer, 'we are waiting on the BVA stage.' Anyone have any idea if the VSO is rethinking their decision or what?

Just an update. The form my lawyer filed was called Form 9. So on E-Ben the stat jumped from Cert of appeal, back to appeal pending notice of disagreement. Could the fact my lawyer sent in documentation that has my va doctor saying the DRO is wrong be the reason? Is this a good sign?
