Slowlane Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 My appeal is stuck on the hamster wheel and going nowhere in St Pete. I can't even get a SOC.

0 JT24usn Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's my understanding that the appeal stays with the RO. The va is about dates and numbers and there would be a hissy fit to transfer a 5 yr old appeal to another station. My guess it's probably stuck at at Pete. Sorry.

0 saints13 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Rats!! I'm in the same boat. Guess will submit my NOD and see where it goes. The 800# said they put in a request to move my case etc to the state I live in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gastone Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 What type of Appeal did you file, DRO Review/Hearing or straight to BVA? Exactly how long have you been waiting? I trust you have submitted New & Compelling Material Evidence to be considered. At best, you may get a VARO automatic review of your denial by a Sr. Rater or actual DRO giving deference to the original decision, well before your actual DRO/BVA Hearing is scheduled.

0 TiredCoastie Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I think this is a very good question and I'm not sure the answer is all that certain. JMHO - there's a firm "maybe" in whether or not the appeal would follow you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted April 19, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 19, 2015 Generally, if the current VARO finds you have moved, they will dump your appeal, on the new VARO, thereby improving their numbers by "one." It's all about the numbers, not about the claims, themselves. When I notified the VA of my new address in Idaho, they transferred my appeal to Idaho. I contacted them and advised them I didn't want my appeal moved, and they returned it to my VT VARO. pr Buck52 and Slowlane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gastone Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 You haven't specified what type of Appeal your waiting for, that could make a big difference if it all comes down to #'s and your place in line. If you're waiting on a BVA Hearing, how would the transfer affect your future Hearing Date place in line? If it's a DRO Hearing, same question? PR's experience would indicate careful consideration is necessary before just putting in a change of residence. You may want to be proactive and request in advance that your appeal stays at your original VARO. I don't think you can determine with certainty what the effects of a transfer would have on the future Hearing timeline.

My appeal is stuck on the hamster wheel and going nowhere in St Pete. I can't even get a SOC.
If I move to another state does the appeal move to that RO? I'm thinking that would be good.

Therein lies the problem, you as well as all the rest of us never know when the VA is about to bust a move. For what if anything it's worth, my take is your looking at anywhere from 18 to 24 mos after
