What Next After Vacated Boards Decision

[LIL-ROB]

Can anyone tell me whats next the US COURT OF APPEALS did this vacated the boards decision of 2005

[john999]

I think your claim should be remanded back to the BVA. When was the decision of the BVA made and how long did it take to get it vacated by the court? I am not sure about this but it is logical that it would be remanded if a decision was vacated.

Yep remanded back to the BVA-I would think.

An order to vacate means the prior decision has been overruled.

Did you have a lawyer on your POA?

[Berta]

I need to add-BVA decision was overruled or the CAVC found a critical legal error that needs to be corrected.

This doesn't happen often so I am anxious to know what else you can find out on this vacate order.

Berta,

What really pizzes me off is when I see them vacated due to the vet not getting a VCAA notice.

sounds to me the CAVC found critical errors in the VARO decision and ordered a brand new process which is to your favor the effective date is still intact and instead of the denial you have been fighting you stand a chance of getting an approval or at least a VARO decision that you are now going to be able to make a new legal challenge to the BVA I hope you keep a lawyer involved thru out this new process and not let a SO let the VARO have a free reign to stick it to you again....80% of 4-5 years of back pay is better than 100% of nothing

First get the Service Connection and once you get a check each month fight for earlier effective dates. That's my opinion and I am sticking by it.

The more back pay on the table the more VA types have to look at the claim and believe me some of the oldtimers at VA hate to pay Vets.
