If you have an attorney, who is appealing a Board denial, THESE go quickly at the CAVC.  

These are much faster than the BVA or VARO. 

You could/should have a CAVC decision within in 6-12 months of filing the nod at the CAVC.  

DO tell your wife and your attorney that you want her to "file a substitution of claimant", so that your wife (or other trusted heir) can continue your claim even after death, and your family should get the benfits

These post should be separated. The OP (Original Poster) John999 thread ended in 2010

This gives me something to live for then. I have to stay alive for at least two more years. If you die while your claim is at the CAVA does it die with you or can your widow pick it up. My lawyer says he is going to pursue the case at CAVA and I don't have to do anything except maybe sign some papers.

John,

My case went to CAVC in June/2009.

According to my attorney, timetable results from 3,000-4,000 cases filed each year, seven judges to deal

with them all.

It can take up to next summer before my case gets before a judge. Another year sitting in remand is likely after the judge sends it back to the BVA . New C&P's will likely be ordered, if favorable another year or so at the VARO waiting to be rated. Another year after that with a NOD because of the low ball ratings is also likely.

It's either delay or deny. Why is there such a back log of claims? Mine should have never taken 13 yrs to get to the CAVC.
