Movement On Appeals

[63Charlie]

I have several conditions on appeal.

On 1/3/2020, the BVA merged my appeals.

VA.gov indicates a BVA decision will be coming " soon ". 

Some appeals date back to 2015.

How soon is soon?

There are so many variables involved in each of our claims and appeals that this is a tough one to answer.

As a comparison in the year 2000 I filed myself a CUE and VA Injury claims and had to appeal the CUE.  The BVA finally issued a denial of my CUE in 2003 that I then immediately appealed to the CAVC veterans court.

From my readings of other vets appeals in today's world appeals seems to be taking from 3 to 5 years with some exceptions of course.  You should call Peggy on the VA help line at 1 827-1000 and ask them to put in an IRIS request so they may be able to give you up to minute info on your appeal.  I have had good luck with them and received a positive response within one week.  They will ask you for your date of claim, date of SOC and date you sent in the VA Form 9 along with your last four SS number and VA claims number, etc. etc.

You can also check in person with a VSO or VSR at nearest VARO office if you live close by to one as they have access to the VA VBMS (???) data base.

Good luck.  My info to you is not legal advice as I am not an attorney, paralegal or VSO.
