Bva Hearing Request & New Claim

[gwvet90]

We've decided to opt for BVA local hearing on the original claim (filed March 05, NOD on Jan 06).

The SOC - just came yesterday for this claim. It did not address the new claim.

So - we still have a claim in round 1 - still waiting for their 1st decision on it - (filed this one Feb 06)

When should we send the request for BVA on the 1st claim? - I know we have 60 days, but the sooner we send it, the sooner we're on a waiting list.......

Should we wait until the newer claim is decided before sending the BVA request, or go ahead & send it? What effect will it have on the newer claim's processing time?

jstacy,

I emailed you about 7 pages on my claim for disability. Hope that this was alright.

Thank you all for your replies.

Sounds like I should hold off a little on filing the form 9 & see if they get the decision made on the new claim soon.

The 1st claim has nothing to do with the 2nd they are seperate issues.

holding off will be ok. However, do not get tied up with life and MISS THE TIME LINE TO FILE THE FORMAL APPEAL...........
