February 2, 2023, the motion I filed to advance my appeals on the BVA docket was granted.
My appeals were then placed with a VLJ at the Board.
After this happened, my VSO submitted a Privacy Act Request for my claims file.
On February 9, 2023, I receive notification that my appeals are now placed on hold, according to VA, because my VSO submitted a Privacy Act request.
I think it's wrong to delay my appeals for their reason stated below, and I don't know how to fix this.
See below:
You or your representative filed a Privacy Act request. The Board placed your appeal on hold until this request is satisfied.
