BVA Chairman's Report: Why its important to YOU!

[broncovet]

I usually review the BVA chairmans report, each time it comes out.  (Every year).  Why?

https://www.bva.va.gov/Chairman_Annual_Rpts.asp

1.  It helps me choose "which" appeal method I will use:  BVA, HLR, SCL.  On page 32, 2019 version, I read that 20.6 percent, overall, of Veterans appeals are denied by the BVA.  I already know that about 80 percent of claims are denied at the VARO.  So, do you want a 20 percent chance of winning (at the VARO), or an 80 percent chance at the BOARD? 

2.  It helps me decide whether to hire an attorney or not.  If you look, also on Page 32, Attorney represented Vets fare far better than any of the VSO's.  Attorney's lose just 13 percent of the time, while Most VSO's are about double that. 

3.  It answers questions like, "can I appeal a VA life insurance waiver of premium denial".  It shows that the Board decided appeals on insurnace and other VA stuff. 

4.  It helps to find out "how long" I can expect my appeal at the BVA, because it gives time frames. 

    You just need to know where to look.
