  1. No need for remand. The BVA said an outside contractor transcribes the transcripts. This year they changed contractors and the contractors are back logged. Now my attorney said he had hearings before mine and still waiting on Transcripts. Trump set up this new white house VA hotline my attorney is going to call and see how that system works, WASHINGTON — Today the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced that the White House VA Hotline, first launched in June as part of President Donald J. Trump’s commitment to reforming VA, is now fully staffed with live agents working to serve Veterans 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. The hotline, which became 24-hour operational in mid-October, is now staffed by a team consisting of 90 percent Veterans or employees who have a Veteran family member, and is in response to Veterans’ requests to talk to agents who could relate to their experiences. “The White House VA Hotline provides our nation’s Veterans with a direct, dedicated contact line that allows them to interact with highly trained, live agents to answer their needs and concerns,” said VA Secretary David J. Shulkin. “Since the initial launch of the hotline in June, we listened to our Veterans, who indicated that they prefer speaking with other Veterans and Veteran family members, and we adjusted our hiring based on that feedback,” added Shulkin. “We’re proud that the hotline is now staffed 24/7 by a team of mostly Veterans or Veteran family members who have direct knowledge of their particular concerns and can use their experience to address them in the best way possible with the resources of the VA. This represents a true win-win for Veterans and their loved ones.” Since 24/7 coverage began in October, the hotline has served more than 10,000 callers. Hotline agents answer inquiries, provide directory assistance, document concerns about VA care, benefits and services, and expedite the referral and resolution of those concerns. Agents undergo regular updates and training on VA services based on hotline trends and are assisted by newly implemented tracking software to help VA capture and improve its response, referral and resolution processes to best support Veterans. The hotline can be accessed at 855-948-2311 and is VA’s first non-clinical, non-emergency around-the-clock call center. It provides Veterans a supplemental option to report issues if they are not being addressed through VA’s normal customer service channels. The hotline’s agents are located at a VA facility in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Agents have access to a multitude of resources and contact information to help Veterans. The hotline also generates real-time reports to VA experts who can help address the specific issues of Veterans as well as make better-informed decisions on where program improvements are needed.
  2. i have went thru the gauntlet, my claim is at the BVA the schedules a video confernece hearing before a veteran law judge at the Nashville VARO. I had an attorney. The Judge was in DC. After the hearing we went on record asking for a copy of the transcripts The Judge says it takes about 6 to 8 weeks to prepare transcripts. And he will get me a decision quickly because I am fast track. It is an outside scource that does the transcripts not the BVA.. So far no transcripts. I called the Bva weekly and they say the contractor doing transcripts is back logged. All VSO and even my attorney has never heard of such a long delay. You think Trump screwed something up? my hearing was jan 19th 2018 this year
