0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted January 21, 2020 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hmm... Let's take a step back and look at this in perspective: 1. VA takes heat for initial claims taking forever, makes changes to tackle the initial claims backlog 2. VA hastily processes the initial claims backlog, but causing the appeals backlog to swell 3. VA pats self on back for wiping out the initial claims backlog 4. VA clears an average of about 6,000 backlogged appeals claims per month over a 33 month period from March 2016 to December 2019. Pats self on back. Appeals backlog swelled about 260% during same timeframe. 5. At that rate, the VA will have the appeals backlog wiped out in about 16 months... 6. No information about how many hastily processed appeals were submitted for BVA review... The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer. Let's hope it is not another rubber stamp denial train. blahsaysme2u 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'' VBA lowered this inventory from a high of 292,452 in March 2016, to 96,350 on Dec. 31, 2019, despite receiving 770,571 new NOD and substantive appeals during that period.'' Vync I'd say this is a pretty good start beings RAMP just went into effect last year feb 19th 2019 and still receiving claims at 770.571 NOD and substantive appeals during this period.

0 vetquest Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 @Buck52, I think Vync read it the same as I did. Did they start at 292,452 and lower to 96,350 with an additional claims of 770,571? Or Did they start with 292,452 and lower to 96,350 and then added 770,751? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
