Changing Varo Adjudication

[USMC_VET]

After my last rigamaro with the VA i found that my claims were still being processed by my old VARO that i lived in 2 states ago.

how can i go about changing where my C&P claims are processed

[broncovet]

Have you filed a change of address?

Remember, VA calls it "AOJ". That is "Agency of Original Jurisdiction".

I realize that Veterans may well want to change their RO, and for some very good reasons as some RO's are really really bad. I think Berta managed to get her's changed, but I dont know how she did it.

I have updated it via ebenefits, do i need to fill out the official form? what am i saying...of course i do.

[USN_HM_VSR]

No theres no official form. If you updated it ebenefits, RO would receive it and update it in VBMS, if you had a pending claim the RO who currently was on the claim would still finish it out. When you file a new it would go to the new RO thats closest to you. Now if it was changed yet then call the call center and update it. It will be annotated on a 0820 as well as documented in VBMS. Now beware with all this national work queue crap your claim could be sent to any RO nation wide.

There are 4 Area regional office's of AOJ across the nation Western RO's Central RO's Eastern RO's Northern RO's,

If& When you move you may not need to change RO's depending how far you move? and Remember any RO's as the right or jurisdiction to send your claims back to your original RO if they so chose to!

If you move out of your VARO you can probably expect a new C&P exam if you are 100%. A little silver bell rings at VA HQ if they can reduce a 100% vet.

If I was you I'd stay with my original RO, unless you have good reasons to change.(most things are done over the internet anyway (ebenefit's)

I would think changing RO's because you moved will surely mess up things, Most RO's are different and most screw up big time. reason no.one they tend to lose evidence & records.
