Switching Lines

[71M10]

Greetings all:

My 2008 decision that went through DRO, generated a SOC, and timely filed Form 9 in 2009, has finally left Detroit Rock City and is on its way to the BVA!

This is my first trip to the BVA, will I get a seperate letter with docket number from the Board or will that come in a second letter from my RO?

Looks like it is time to organize the 4.5 years of correspondence into indexed information.

I have asked for a hearing in DC. So a future road trip is on the agneda and I may even go eat some of that Maryland Crab at Jims Hideway in Odenton (if it is still standing). My son will do most of the driving and plans on visiting the Smithsonian Air and Space museum while im discussing my case.

Best regards,

You will get a letter from the RO once it is certified. Your appeal will "leave" the RO and be transferred to the BVA when they are ready to assign your case. Once the appeal (C-file) is received by the BVA, you will get a letter from the BVA with docket number.

Thanks for the confirming information (I thought it would be a letter from BVA). Received the letter from RO yesterday!
