You can send them an addendum to the I-9- which is just a letter changing the hearing from Washington to the traveling board-

If I were you I would send this letter with a USPS tracking slip and proof of postage to both the BVA and to the VARO.

If they failed to consider any evidence or you have more evidence I suggest getting a response to them within 30 days of the SOC decision.

Hearings-wether BVA or traveling board-take a long time to occur-this gives you plenty of time to get more medical evidence.

The SOC will say what is lacking in the claim. That is the key to what they need.

I would send additional evidence as you find it- to the VARO and the BVA as soon as the claim is transferred to the BVA.

I sent BVA evidence even after they ordered a C & P- and copies of what should have been in the C file- but having lost trust in the VARO here in NY_after 6 years had passed since I filed the claim-and all the evidence had been ignored- I re-copied and sent much of it all again to the BVA.

I dont recall the particulars of your claim but if you dont have an IMO yet- time to consider getting one-if their denial is based on medical evidence.

Do you have a Service Organization that is helping you with your claim?

If so, then they will, or should, provide you with representation at your BVA hearing.

grent,

Yes you can present that additinal evidence at a BVA Hearing, but if the obesity is

service connected I would send the new information in now.

When your docket number comes up the RO will certify and transfer your c-file to

the BVA and the RO is SUPPOSED to send you a letter to inform you this has happened.

Then the BVA is SUPPOSED to send you a letter stating this has happened and that

you can may continue to submit any additional evidence to them (BVA).

I do advise that if you continue to submit any additional evidence to the BVA

that you also sign and send a waiver of RO consideration on the additional evidence to

try and block an additional remand due to submitting the information.

If you are just recently submitting an I-9 to start your appeal at BVA then you have

around 18 - 36 months ahead to wait.

jmho,
