Writ of Mandamus Granted?

[toddt]

If I am reading this correctly, I believe my petition for a writ of mandamus has been granted.  The last two paragraphs of my case at the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims:

"Based solely on the petition, the Court can't decide if a writ compelling the RO to decide
the petitioner's claim is warranted. So, it is"

"ORDERED that, within 14 days of this order, the government file a response to the petition
addressing the petitioner's claims."

Now to wait and see what the Regional Office does.  From the time I sent my petition to the Court 9/25/18 until today 10/4/18 that is pretty darn fast.  Thanks to broncovet for the encouragement and to all of Alex's writings on Writs of Mandamus.

I check the VBMS every day. I insert my PIV card into my reader and go on Citrix to sign in. About 25 questions and codes later, I'm in. If you are accredited, you can apply for VBMS access. You do some hokey online training for a week and then go in and get the PIV card and PIN. I can see every one of my clients' files and the latest action in real time- including all the notes. If I see something I don't like, I call up my Change Management Agent (CMA) and have her tell the rater to call me. If I'm pissed like I am right now (at a rater), I call the VARO director and ask him to return my call at his earliest. We'll be having a talk about the initials ICARE.

There is nothing as rewarding as being an agent. It's easy to attain and gives you all the powers of an attorney to litigate...without the crushing law school debt. 

 

VACOLS is for appeals. For that I just use the BVA's 800 #.

@asknod

That is kind of what I asked in another post. can you please message me any info about where I can get reliable training on certifying as an agent? I would love to begin the process for my own benefit and to help others.

Thanks
