Recon, Video, Bva ?

[grent]

i am currently waiting a bva hearing for retro pay based on lost records and increase from 100 scheduler to smc.

form 9 timely filed and got a lawyer through va watchdog first lawyer took off va watchdog got me another lawyer

new lawyer same as the last keeps me in the dark never calls me 6 -7 months go by then i usually call the lawyer never their always out

the next event the varo writes back to me after year and half and says they are working on my appeals hum did i request that? i thought i filed form 9 bva for that??

i call the 1800 number for va they tell me the local varo is trying to see if they can grant all my pending bva issues at the local varo level the 1 800 va say its like they are seeing if they can grant eveyrthing at the local level thats what 1800 va tells me yeah and i believe that

then couple of months go by and the local varo writes to me they tell me i did not elect whether i wanted travelling board which they state is quicker or bva hearing which is longer

simply dont know what to do here can you offer some advice

dont know whether to pick door number door number 1 door number 2 door number 3 ???

how many more appeals do i have???????

any thoughts here should i just go back to the DVA and drop this lawyer

what a waiting period it has been been bout 3 1/2 years stilll no closer to my hearing

whats the best way to go travel board or bva ?? friend of mine sez travel board / video is a sham varo court like the dro hearing better to go straight bva???

thanx grent

Lawyers are like that sometimes. However its hard to trust someone who does not return calls.

i guess i could do a recon reconsideration or a video travel board or straight bva in washington dont know what to do here 4 seperate appeals

Pete any thoughts here???

havent talked to you in a while been sick in and out of the ER

VA gave me 20% mood then i pointed out they where wrong they did an OOOPS and gave me 80% but re-classified my mood as PTSD and with 3 prior GAFs of 40

buddy sez when you have 80% PTSD you just document your symptoms on 21 4138 and re-file thats one of my appeals

i am considering going back to the DAV and dropping this lawyer

i guess some VAROS will see if they can grant some issues before the file goes in BVA mode rather than just let it sit their for years and years as mine has

in closing i am very disapointed in this administration seems they just did what others have done before them just nominate a political appointee and the person comes in takes off their jacket and does nothing positive to change the system

in fact the growing backlog of BVA cases is getting worse
