Which Location Is Faster To Get A Bva Hearing?

Rate this question

Question

Hi,

I am appealing the effective date of my award. Does anyone know, generally speaking, if it will take less time to get a BVA hearing in Washington, D.C. as opposed to the regional office? My regional office would be Boston, in case that matters.

Thanks!

Sergeant G

Yikes, I didn't mean to discount anything that has been said....I have been shown that it is better to stay at the DRO level, for developing the claim, than it is to go to the BVA....

just because you ask for a video hearing you don't always get a video hearing sometimes the Judge is there in person my lawyer asked for the video hearing in August 2008 the hearing was set for Feb 2009 we thought it was going to be a video hearing naw the Judge was there and it was a well spent 45 minutes his biggest concern was did I cover everything I wanted to and did I feel that I had "my day in court" he kept asking was there anything else I wanted to bring up 3 months later I got the award letter then my lawyer said it would be 6-12 months before they sent my file back to the RO and actually rated the claim it only took them 3 months by June 2009 it was over
