It's been a little more than two years since the VA has received my NOD for a DRO review. I think the average is about 260 days or around 9 months but I believe it depends on the RO. I am out of Roanoke. I started to get the impression that I'm failing myself so in September I decided to give them a monthly reminder. I am hoping they read my statement when I call? In October I went through the chat and was told it's in the final review but I didn't know what that meant until I called on December the 28th. Apparently, final review means I'm a liar because it hasn't been touched since it was received November 18, 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Galen Rogers Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 My VA RO is also Roanoke, VA. SO guess I'll be waiting a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Moderator broncovet Posted January 8, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 8, 2019 According to the Chairman of the BOard of appeals report, it takes about 5 years from the time you file a NOD to completion of your appeal. That is, of course, before RAMP. You can read the chairmans report here: https://www.bva.va.gov/Chairman_Annual_Rpts.asp Year 2018 has not been completed yet.

0 Chopper Guy Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I can't give you an answer to your question but I can share my experience as each R.O is different. My DRO was submitted 17 months ago to the Montgomery,AL R.O in August of 2017. I called the R.O and was told the average process time was 314 days depending on the complexity of the case. I am at about 515 days and counting. The ramp program is an option but my lawyers advised me to stay in the legacy system. I wish you the best of luck and the strength to be patient.

0 paulstrgn Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I had submitted a NOD for a DRO review to the Roanoke, VA and after it had been pending about a year I opted for the RAMP and it was completed in about 5 months. Unfortunately it was denied, but the RAMP program was faster. I filed an appeal an on the denial an opted for RAMP so I am hoping it will be completed by March or April of this year. I have also filed another NOD for a DRO review in October of last year and opted for RAMP and the system says I should receive a decision by the end of March.
