8up4life Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 How long does it take approximately to get a BVA decision after the hearing? Hard to believe that no one has asked this question before. All I want to know is if you had a BVA hearing and got a decision, how long did it take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 8up4life Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 The VARO's need to go away, along with all VAMC's. Biggest waste of tax payer money there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Moderator broncovet Posted August 8, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 8, 2018 These are excellent reasons to RAMP. I just dont want to wait 5 or more years for legacy appeals to the BVA. No, ramp is not proven but anything is better than waiting 5 years..even a denial that I can appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 8up4life Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Claims filed Jun 2010 Claims denied 2012 NOD 2012 Certified to BVA Mid 2013 Transferred to BVA Nov 2017 BVA Hearing March 2018 Transcripts of hearing returned Jun 2018 BVA Decision granting service connection for 5 out of 9 contentions Jul 24 2018 Ratings complete Aug 28, 2018 Attorney Fee Withheld Sept 10, 2018 Nov 20 Still waiting for Rating Decision, Retro Deposit and Implementation. ::::IMPORTANT::::: At this stage many veterans are waiting up to 18 months to see the retro and rating decision. This is unacceptable. You should expect 4 months from BVA Hearing to BVA Decision. Then approximately 2 months from BVA Decision to Rating Decision. If you have not seen any progress by then, do the following. Call the AMC and demand to speak with the service manager. I had been calling the 800 # and the AMC getting the same lame runaround. Nov 20 It wasn't till I called and spoke with the AMC Service manager that my Ratings in Benefits changed to reflect correct ratings, and I was assured that I will see retro within 1 - 2 weeks followed by the actual rating decision. I never saw e-benefits update so fast in my life. Had I not called and spoke with the manager the wait for retro and ratings would have been indefinite like so many others. The break down was with the Attorney Fee Coordinator not communicating to the VSCM that the case was ready for final authorization. The VSCM cannot authorize what he doesn't know needs to be authorized. 202-530-9000 is the number the VSCM called me back from. If that don't get you thru the AMC num is 202-530-9455 ask for the service manager, then make sure it is actually the service manager you are speaking with once you get someone on the phone.

I am not disagreeing with the above statement but rather adding that exceptions have and are made if your in some sort of hardship and or you have a congressional inquiry flagged on your file....

@Hammer46, nothing at the VA gets done quickly. I know after many years you just want the darn decision, my case took ten years and when I knew a decision was made it only made it worse. Now is the
