I hope all you fine vets are doing well. I wanted to get some other vets experiences on how long it has taken your RO to review your NOD. I submitted my NOD to the Roanoke RO on 12/24/2015 and elected the DRO review. It's been sitting there collecting dust ever since and is currently at 420 days and counting. I call Peggy on a regular basis and they give me the same sorry response that it's currently waiting on the DRO review. They have also consistently told me that on average it takes the Roanoke RO 246 days to complete their NOD reviews. That average hasn't changed over the last year despite the Monday morning reports showing that this RO is working over 14,000 appeals. So I'm not placing much confidence in the 246 day average. Also, the ebenefits website does indicate that my appeal was submitted but it's not showing any progress either.
Based on some posts from this site and some recent articles I came across on other sites, it looks that due to the appeals backlog I may actually be waiting even longer for a decision on the NOD....like upwards to 700 days just for the NOD decision itself (which doesn't factor the time it takes to process Form 9). So does anyone have any input to share regarding how long it took your RO to complete their review of your NOD? Just want to get a good idea of what to expect going forward. Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.

I filed my NOD on November 6 2015, ebenefits updated with my new rating yesterday and the actual rating decision was made on January 20, last month, out of Winston Salem Regional. Don't hesitate to go

My NOD was filed March of 2014, still no movement or changes in Ebenefits on it. That's over 700 days, and counting.
