Videoconference Hearing Questions

[Wayne TX]

I sent in a Form 9 and VA sent me back a Letter saying I have been put on a waiting list to appear at RO VA office for a Veteran Law Judge to hear my Appeal via a Videoconference Hearing.  It stated BVA can often schedule Videoconference hearings more quickly than in person Travel Board hearings.  My two questions are to anyone here who (1) had a Videoconference hearing at their RO......how long did it take to get the hearing date after getting the VA letter saying now on a waiting list. and (2) did the Veteran Law Judge award Appeals on the spot during the Hearing, or was it done after the Hearing session?   Thanks for any help to Q's.

Wayne,  Yes the judge does.  He will ask you if you have additional information relevant to the case that wasn't presented before.  He will use the new information for his decision.  He will ask you that either at the beginning or the end.  If he forgets, mention to him, that you have information, relevant to your case.
