[How many years does it take the BVA to render a decision after hearing?]

NOD people start now . But before My appeal was sent to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals .I did this. Do this VETS please get your Record ,Doc notes treatment everything from VA/DoD eBenefits, The RO or Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) or Navy Medicine Records Activity (NMRA) notes about injuries, light duty notes etc. Online maybe google online query about records or call them. Started early 1 year or 2 . My records took about year from NMRA big box of records that came to my door, don't recall if free or fee but for me had to be free in 2005. But it took a year + to get everything. Then you go into records make copy on doc note about injuries, light duty etc, give copy to VSO, I was lucky My VSO went in my records with me all of them together found things I've missed, its hard but in the APPEAL WAITING GAME it will keep you busy go into you records five time until your Hearing know it. A Lot of time on hand for these Appeals just be prepare. Yes, VSO or Attorney can help but they are people too know your stuff too. I'm still waiting on decision for VLJ but she had a file from My VSO that was 3 inch thick April 5, 2019, DOC Notes , Light duty notes, evaluation MRI report, plus the kitchen sink . VLJ told me My VSO was good and I was Lucky too have her on my side, DOC Notes was the KEY, also hang in there and tell other VETS to come prepared like we did. SO VETS kick into gear get busy on records it help with the waiting. It's out of my hands now , I'm bored sometime but got hobbies now that helps . Don't give up!

Current status

Your appeal is waiting to be sent to a judge

Your appeal is at the Board of Veterans’ Appeals, waiting to be sent to a Veterans Law Judge. Staff at the Board will make sure your case is complete, accurate, and ready to be decided by a judge.

 

What happens next?

 

• The Board will make a decision

  A Veterans Law Judge will review all of the available evidence and write a decision. For each issue you’re appealing, they can decide to:

  • Grant: The judge disagrees with the original decision and decides in your favor.
  • Deny: The judge agrees with the original decision.
  • Remand: The judge sends the issue back to the Veterans Benefits Administration togather more evidence or to fix a mistake before deciding whether to grant or deny.

  Note: About 60% of all cases have at least 1 issue remanded.

How long until a judge is ready for your appeal?

Your appeal is Advanced on the Docket. This could be because you are older than 75, because you are suffering a serious illness or are in financial distress, or for other sufficient cause.

Advanced on the Docket appeals are prioritized so that they’re always at the front of the line. Your appeal will be sent to a judge as soon as it’s ready for their review.
