Bva Advance On Docket For Hardship

[Dave1433]

I wondered if anyone has experience on how long it takes for the BVA to make a decision once a hearing is completed and the vet is granted his motion for an advance on the docket due to hardship? My initial claim is 6 years old and I just had my BVA hearing 2 weeks ago.

It was for financial hardship. thanks for the estimate

My BVA date was 7 April 2009 I got the award letter and the funds on 4 June 2009 and my lawyer said that was fast so three months is what some consider fact tracked by the way my original file date and denial was July 2003 the claim was filed Dec 2002.....

Dont hold your breath on a financial hardship "advance on the docket". I filed one in 2004, the RO shredded it and I lost my home in 2005.

Yep I asked for it in 1991 and it took 5 and 1/2 years. I do think that they do try to do homeless Vets claims quicker.
