Also, there are now 3 types of Board decisions:
Direct Docket.The Direct Docket, as VA refers to it in the proposed regulation, will be for veterans who do not want to submit additional evidence to the Board, and do not want a hearing before a Veterans Law Judge. In this docket, the Board will look only at the evidence that was in the file when the appealed decision was issued.
Hearing Docket.As the name suggests, this docket is for veterans who want to have a hearing before a Veterans Law Judge. The proposed regulations state that the only hearing options available to veterans in the new system will be a videoconference hearing and a hearing at the Board in Washington, DC.
Travel Board hearings, those held by Veterans Law Judges at the local Regional Offices, will only be available to veterans in the Legacy appeals system.Legacy appealsare those that were filed under the old appeals system. The Legacy appeals system is still in use, and all claims that are filed until Appeal Reform goes into effect will be filed in the Legacy system.
Evidence Docket.The final docket is for veterans who want to submit additional evidence but do not want a hearing. In this docket, veterans can submit additional evidence to the Board with their Notice of Disagreement and within the 90 days following their Notice of Disagreement.
