I am at the stage of Appeal to the BVA as follows: notice of disagreement effective November 2015 w/Claim certified on 3/24/2016 and waiting for a non-video hearing as established in coordination with Washington DC via the Winston- Salem, NC Region Office. Currently, as of 7/20/2017, I am being told by customer service at the BVA in DC, "we are working on claims Oct 2013...."
Question: what if anything might I do at this point? As it currently stands it could be another three years ( year 2020) before I receive a hearing. And although I am content and satisfied with my attorney, I am dis-heartened that the only person winning here is my attorney drawing 20% of excessive number of years wait time. Also my congressman is sympathetic but has no ability to do anything.
I'm just 1 of hundreds of thousands of veterans in the same situation. I just cannot understand how our Great Nation is allowing this to occur. And I do not believe this is in line with the Mission, Vision, Core Values & Goals of The Department of Veterans Affairs. https://www.va.gov/about_va/mission.asp.
