USCAVC form change ,recent opinions

[Berta]

I noticed today that US CAVC has changed their Appeals forms- the info is on the right hand side of their home page:

Notice of Appeal form and Declaration of Financial Hardship updated
 

The Notice of Appeal form and Declaration of Financial Hardship have been updated. Due to public health concerns associated with the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Court would like to fully utilize electronic forms of communication. More detailed instructions have been added to the forms so pro se appellants and petitioners may take advantage of the fax and email options for submissions to the Court. Pro se appellants and petitioners may fax or email the forms and other pleadings to the Court to 202-501-5848 and self-rep@uscourts.cavc.gov. Appellants and petitioners with email addresses may also receive email notifications of docket activity from the Court.

The forms are in a link at the left side of the Home Page.

But this is something I noticed today- and was very surprised at it.

Of the 18 decisions the CAVC posted, in the last three days, ( 18) ,a whooping 13 of them were Remands!

4 were dismissed and the one left was a full reversal of a denial!

Remands are ALWAYS better than denials but that Reversal of the BVA decision is something really good and might benefit someone here---

I will read it over carefully and post the link in the AO forum- it is a Thailand vet's case.
