Will Someone Help Me With This Question ?


carlie

Question

While a vet has some claim issues currently pending at the BVA Appeal level --

is the VARO allowed to continue to evaluate and provide rating decisions - on other issues that the veteran currently has pending on the VARO level ?

I feel like I should already know the answer but can't remember.

Thanks to all,

carlie

Carlie:

I don't know the answer for sure I know that issues can be deferred but it seems that VA has been pretty consistent of using any excuse to hold or delay.

I have two claims that have been pending since July 05. My formal appeal was not received by my RO until Mar 06. Now they tell me that the reason that my two new claims are almost 18 months old is that I filed an appeal and I must know that I have only one file which has been at the Appeals Management area since Mar 06 so there is no way they have been able to work on my new claims. Looks like although the RO still has the file they are intent on dragging out the decision on the new claims until we get through the BVA with my appeal.

Also I have seen several post on hadit which stated that they have had their video teleconference with BVA. During the meeting they have asked specific questions which were met with "we do not have your file yet therefore I have not reviewed it". Now if this is true is this not a waste of time for everyone involved. Holding a conference without having the file there in front of them is useless for all involved. Well I guess stranger things have happend during the claims processing model for VA.

"we do not have your file yet therefore I have not reviewed it"

I see a procedural error here. All evidence should be at the hearing, which includes your claim file.

    Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.

    Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.

    exclamation-mark-orange-gold.jpg How To Post

    Post a clear title like

    Need help preparing PTSD claim or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of  ‘I have a question."

    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?

    Note:

    Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.

    This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
