So my appeal is a Legacy from May of 2015 appeal placed on the Docket November 2017. Now, I had me virtual hearing on November 2020, and still waiting on a decision. My issue is about the AMA and these appeals lacking any evidence and almost all being remanded back to regional office. I go back and look at the cases once they are uploaded for us to see. There is literally hundreds of AMA appeals completed with docket dates of 2019-2021 for every one Legacy appeal from 2018 and older. When a person goes through these cases you will see that more than half of these AMA appeals are remanded due to lack of evidence. I still, to this day, have over 40K appeals ahead of mine. I have been waiting for now over 6 years for it to be completed and I wonder how many of these 40K will be remanded due to lack of evidence? I may wait an entire another year or more to get my decision completed due to these "BS" AMA appeals. I mean if you are going to file an appeal to the VBA get your crap straight its not just your appeal that is going to be remanded for more years but your screwing over other veterans. I'm not trying to be a hater here but this AMA didn't do anything but screw all of us over. My appeal is based on significant issue with the St. Louis regional office. I have been service connected with Systematic Scleroderma and the St. Louis RO denied all the secondary conditions with this disease. If anyone knows about scleroderma they know that it is called CREST and CREST is called scleroderma. I have been medically diagnosed with all the CREST issues, but all the ST. Louis office wants to rate me on is my Lung condition from scleroderma. This is all besides the point that I have now waited over 6 years for secondary conditions because my appeal cant get through the backlog of appeals that don't have evidence attached to them.
