I flied the claim, appealed the decision, gathered the medical reports to support my claim. DAV was my VSO from a previous appeal and I never changed it. I know they're overworked and for that reason I tried to do the leg work myself. But I'm wondering if because I didn't go to my VSO office to file or appeal the claim did I make the process longer. But after I received the letter from DAV congratulating me on my claim when it had been denied made me think that no one had really looked at it and this was just a auto reply letter that was just signed by my VSO. I knew it couldn't be from the previous claim because it was completed 7or 8 years prior to me starting my ongoing claim.

I believe that I have and yes this is a remand that back to the regional to appeal board then to my VSO. Everytime I check my file location it shows it as being with my VSO at the board. All the document I sent to the AMC shows as being unsoliciated. But since I haven't received anything from VA or DAV since then I'm lost about my claim.

I've been appealing my claim since 2010 and now ebenefits shows it's with my VSO ( DAV) since 1/2016. At first I couldn't get a return call from the regional office so I emailed the HQ office. So I received a call from the regional telling me that she couldn't give a timetable of when my appeal might be sent back to the board. This appeal has been one thing after another. I never received the decision packets that ebenefits shows were sent as each step of the appeal being completed, so I filed a FOI for them still no packets ebenefits shows that my request as overdue of being filled. I want to file another claim but I'm wondering if that claim would be slowed up as well as delaying my appeal further. Do VSO's have any timetables whenit comes to appeals?
