Yes you can but when you submit it they will then send you a form to either tell them to pull the file back so the VARO can look at the new evidence and make a decision based on it or you can waive the RO jurisdiction and let the BVA Judge use it to make the decision using the entire file and the new evidence to make the decision to grant your claim or deny it I did it and had to sign the waiver in my case it was a no brainer regardless of what I gave the VARO they kept denying my claim so even with the new evidence I felt they would deny it so I preferred to have the Judge make the decision and it worked the last new evidence I got was dated Jan 2009 the BVA hearing was Feb 4 2009 and the Judge made the award letter on April 7 2009 if I had let the VARO review my claim with the new evidence it would more than likely been denied in June or July 2009 and I would still be waiting on a new BVA hearing good luck sign the waiver
