Virtual Hearing

[SPO]

Has anyone taken part in one of these virtual hearings.  Did they allow you to submit evidence before the hearing since you can't physically hand to the judge like you would in an person hearing?

I did mine just over a month ago.  I was able to email the documents, and they were add.  I did get a positive result.  So yes they will give you a way to send them.

@shrekthetank1 So you sent them before the actual hearing?  My VSO sounded like he was just going to add them through the normal upload process for a claim.  Did the judge or one of his team give you a place to send your documents?

I was given his email while we were talking and sent them over.

thats good to know.  Everything I have read on the BVA website says don't submit ahead of time.  I've also read that anything submitted between the initial claim decision and the hearing can't be considered in the appeal.

@shrekthetank1  Did you already get a decision back?

I had mine back in November of 2020, so don't expect anything quick after the virtual hearing, because I am still waiting on the appeal to go back for the judge to decide. For your answer though my judge was very nice and understood my situation completely and I felt like things are in my favor. We did have to submit one Nexus letter and we did that within a week, but still had to wait the entire 90days, plus still waiting.
