SKIPRAY Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I know this is probably a dumb question,but here goes. Are the bva decisions a month behind on the bva search website and how often are they updated? Thanx for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 No, not a dumb question. BVA decisions don't usually get entered on the internet for a few months. Also, Keep in mind BVA decisions do not set precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPRAY Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Ok, that's what I thought. I was looking to see how they are handling the new ptsd rules.Another looooong night of boredom.What does set precedent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted August 5, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 5, 2010 Carlie: Although BVA decisions do not set precedent they cite regs that are helpful if a case is similar to the claim. I cut and asted the regs from two favorable decisions and cited the BVA Docket number when I appealed my claim and at my hearing the RO said it was very helpful to him.

carlie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Pete, OH believe me - I use tons of BVA decisions for research and referral. I intentionally posted that they do not set precedent - so new members will know this. Skipray, Some COVA cases set precedent, it will be stated in the ruling either this can or does not set precedent. http://search.vetapp.gov/ Also certain Opinions of the General Council can set precedent. http://www.hadit.com/VA_General_Counsel_Precedent_Opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
