Bva judge not working...

I recently noticed that when I put my judges name that hear my case into decision search his last decided case was in 5/10/15.    ... Has anyone noticed similar .? I'm hoping he didn't go on a 2month vacation?....

Interesting.  The BOARD is required to adjuticate cases in the order received (except for advance on docket) , BUT, I simply dont know what happens when a judge is ill for a longer period.  The most likely senario:  Your case has been assigned to another judge.   This being said, a call or email to the BVA Ombudsman may be in order, especially if your case has been certified to the Board for a longer period of time. (Say more than 2 years.)

Veterans "falling through the cracks" is not just the VA motto anymore, each new VA employee is given instruction on how to make more Veterans fall through the cracks than ever before.  How do you think they reduced the backlog some 800,000 claims in the past couple years?  Veterans falling through the cracks, of course.
