Greetings
I got this response from the VA on Friday, 28 April 2017 regarding my claims (Docket 11-12 911):
This is in response to your inquiry to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) dated April 28, 2017. We are grateful for your service to our country.
The Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA) has ordered that additional action is needed on your appeal before making a final decision.
This appeal was remanded to the regional office on April 19, 2017.
When all the required actions are completed, your file will be reviewed.
If any further action or development is needed, we will contact you. If not, you will be provided a supplemental decision or Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC), prior to returning your appeal to the BVA for a decision.
We are unable to provide any timeframe on how long it will take to complete your appeal once it is certified to the BVA, as it is no longer within your local office's jurisdiction and we do not have any control over BVA. We also cannot provide a date or time frame in which the regional office (RO) will process the remanded actions. As each Veteran’s benefits are as important as the next, they are generally processed in the order of receipt.

Note: This will be the second time my claims were sent back to the VA for further development. Will just have to wait it out.
