Question

I was wondering if it's possible to find your docket if you have a number but they haven't reached a decision yet? I have tried the CAVC and the BVA website to search either past decisions or the docket search tab. Happy Easter to all!!!

If a decision has not been reached you will not be able to find your docket.  Decisions are usually posted 45 days after they have been decided.

If there was an advance on my docket would that count as a decision on my docket that was decided Feb. 10 2016. I guess today was 45 days but doubt it would show that quick.

Advancement on the docket means that you have been put in front of other claimants, it does not mean that a decision has been made.    As noted on the BVA's Decision search site:  http://www.index.va.gov/search/va/bva.jsp

" Decisions are loaded monthly, usually within 45 days after the end of each month. "

I meant the decision on the motion to advance in the docket granted by the vice deputy chairman which was 45 days ago. I know I am awaiting a VLJ to be assigned my appeal but my anxiety is keeping me up for this Easter weekend. I had a talk on Wednesday with the status bva line and spoke with case management who just then decided to fix a computer glitch that was saying waiting to schedule hearing. I was like I had my hearing Already and my docket has been advanced she said your appeal Will now be placed on the awaiting to be assigned a VLJ. If I hadn't called and had them fix this I'd still be told awaiting a central office hearing. Does anyone know how long I might have to wait to be assigned a judge and a decision if I have this advance on my appeal? Apparently it's only been awaiting 2 days even though this advance has been on for 45days so angry they couldn't fix their shit my obessive compulsion is killing me with their bullshit.

I had my hearing in jan2016. My docket number is early 2014. My attorney said 6 to 8 months for a decision. This makes sense if you search their decisions. You will see some docket dates from 2014 that where not Advanced. Plus I personally called bva and was told they are in fact up to 2014 docket dates. I don't get it when folks say once bva has received your appeal you're looking at 3 years. Heck it takes the varo 3 years to send it to bva. So from what bva told me. And from looking at their decisions my guess would be if your date is from 2015 I would say you're looking at mid to late 2017. Without being Advanced

My docket was advanced in February 10 2016.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
