Had my hearing

[SPO]

So I had my appeal hearing with a BVA judge this morning.  Aside from all the trouble I had with DAV it seemed to go well. (DAV didn’t contact me until 10 minutes before the hearing. Thought I was going to be going it alone.)

i wanted to see if anyone wanted to weigh in on what the judge said. After I presented all the reason it should be granted she said the case was “pretty straight forward” and I “should have a decision soon”.  She didn’t ask any specifics about my case, my condition, or how I believe they are connected to service , just if documents I referenced were in my file from previous portions of this claim.  
it sounds pretty good to me, but I know this stuff is always with a grain of salt.

You won’t know until you get the decision letter or until you see “Granted” in green on va.gov.

Find a hobby to keep your mind occupied.

LOL....Hucast21  This is so true!  Don't run to VA.com and check everyday like I did!

You have to check at least 3 times a day or you're not doing it right.  Mine did change status to "a judge is reviewing your appeal".  So hopefully that means it is assigned to a specific judge and it will cut down on some of the wait time.  I know they still need to do a transcript of the hearing before a decision, but patience has never been something I'm good at.
