All Va Fast Letters

[Berta]

The Texas Veterans Commission (much to my joy!) has published this link to all VA fast letters.

I am posting the Nehmer Fast letter links in the AO forum here as well as well.

Fast letters in some situations could even be used as evidence if the VA fails to follow the administrative instructions in a Fast letter.

I was able to locate some fast letters by running a search at the DVA. But nothing anywhere else to locate me to an alphbetical & dated list like the one in Texas.

Decision Assessment Documents is a wakeup term to me. Don't recall reading one of those, maybe long time ago. Thank you I like your honesty.

Happy New Year~!

Cowgirl'up!

Sure I do... but it's on an internal link. I read somewhere that VA is redesigning the website... I'm sure that the information will be available. Contrary to opinion, the VA is not out to keep the vets in the dark. I would rather rate a claim where the vet knew all the applicable regulations, Fast Letters, and precedential BVA/CAVC decisions than a mess of a claim where the vet has no clue what he's claiming and what special circumstances apply in his specific case.

I think the new website is in "beta" mode... if there's a contact button, why don't you use it and tell the people in charge that you want to be able to find Fast Letters, Training Letters, Decision Assessment Documents, etc on the publicly available website. They may not realize how useful it is to the veterans, and believe it's something only us internal people care about.
