Louisville Ky Ro

[pacmanx1]

Does anyone know how long the Louisville RO is taking to process NODs? I have a very old claim that I had to file a NOD on 315 days ago and I have not heard anything from them. This waiting can drive a person stir crazy. Every time I call Peggy or chat with Epeggy I get the same answer that it takes 230 days to get a decision but I am well past that point. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

Let us know what "stage" you are in. A DRO review should be the fastest. Next, probably DRO video conference hearing.

Have you received a SOC yet? Remember..if you got a SOC and did NOT file an I9 within 60 days (there are some exceptions) then your claim is considered abandoned.

Did you receive a BVA docket number? If you have not, you still have a very long wait.

If you have received a BVA docket number, then you may get a BVA rating in as little as 2 years..sometimes even less.

If you are like me, it will take your VARO another 35 months to "implement" the Board decision.

So:

1. DRO review..I will guess one more year.

2. DRO hearing..likely 2-3 more years.

3. BVA..with docket number and you returned I9, then you could get your benefits in 3 years or less.

4. BVA with NO docket number and they have not done an SOC, 4to 5 more years.

Bronco, my claim has already been granted by BVA. I was even awarded a rating percentage by the RO. What my appeal is for is I disagreed with the percentage and the effective date. Since my claim is still pending I don't want to give the docket number. Sometimes paranoia gets to me but I just wanted to know what is taking them so long since they have all the evidence they need.

I have noticed sometimes that Jbasser has some great insight into the Louisville RO workings.

Right now Louisville doesn't look to good. 335 days is too long. Did you receive a statement of case from them?

I know Louisville has had some claims from other regional offices sent to them so they may be a little in over their heads.

The best RO. I can say as of today is Huntington West Virginia.

I could wrong but if it was me I'd call your RO and ask what the status is on your claim and tell the person you talk with you will hold until they find out.

try not to let them say let us check on that and we will call you back...because usually they don't.
