Question
K Turner
I am at the stage of Appeal to the BVA as follows: notice of disagreement effective November 2015 w/Claim certified on 3/24/2016 and waiting for a non-video hearing as established in coordination with Washington DC via the Winston- Salem, NC Region Office. Currently, as of 7/20/2017, I am being told by customer service at the BVA in DC, "we are working on claims Oct 2013...."
Question: what if anything might I do at this point? As it currently stands it could be another three years ( year 2020) before I receive a hearing. And although I am content and satisfied with my attorney, I am dis-heartened that the only person winning here is my attorney drawing 20% of excessive number of years wait time. Also my congressman is sympathetic but has no ability to do anything.
I'm just 1 of hundreds of thousands of veterans in the same situation. I just cannot understand how our Great Nation is allowing this to occur. And I do not believe this is in line with the Mission, Vision, Core Values & Goals of The Department of Veterans Affairs. https://www.va.gov/about_va/mission.asp.

Your attorney is not "drawing" 20 percent. Beleive me, they earn it. How would YOU like being paid in 2020? Representing Veterans as an attorney is far less lucrative than many other areas of law,

I know how you feel. I'm still waiting for mine from 2014. The only way to speed the process is to file for hardship, and then you would still have to wait. I have been told they were working on Sept

You're not alone. Many times here our members will tell others to get a hobby or something to that effect and honestly unless your case gets advanced there is not much else you can do. They are c
