I am mad as Hell!- For decades since the BVA has been on line, I have gone there weekly and often daily to research cases ,enied, remanded or awarded, to post links from those deciion here- as they hold a wealthof information that can help veterans and their surviviors.
Yesterday I did resear ther to hlp someonehere at this page:
The Board of Veterans’ Appeals has learned that a limited number of Veterans may have had their Board Appeal forms (VA Form 10182, Decision Review Request: Board Appeal (Notice of Disagreement)) mistakenly rejected for being untimely. Out of an abundance of caution, the Board is sending out a wide notice to help ensure no other Veterans were impacted by this. If you filed a VA Form 10182 with the Board between February 19, 2019, and March 23, 2021, and believe it may have been improperly rejected as untimely, please send a letter to the “Clerk of the Board” at P.O. Box 27063, Washington, DC 20038 or via fax to 1-844-678-8979 no later than March 1, 2022. In your letter, state you are asking the Board to “RECALCULATE TIMELINESS” and be careful to include the Veteran’s full name, claim number or SSN, the date of the rating decision you appealed to the Board, and the date of your original VA Form 10182 appeal form that the Board told you was untimely.

The Search All years button does not seem to work and this change is the most detrimental change to veteran's advocacy I have seen in years!
I am unwilling to try to access the new search feature because it is by year and the search area does not seem to be as effective as the older one was.And it ill be for more time consuming then it used to be.
I am going to complain to the BVA ( if I can even contact them) and if not I will call the WH Hot Line.
This might not matter to many here but in addition to the VBM from NVLSP evereything else I have learned about claims is from the BVA decisions.
Unlike many RO decisions we get, the BVA CAN READ and are usually always correct on their decisions.
I have carpal tunnel synrome as well-and that makes research more difficult for me these days - and maybe others here will be willing to research BVA decisions that can help veterans here or their survivors.
There site was perfect as it was, but like everything else, it seems someone decided it was not good enough and made it worse.

When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief
Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was
simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."
Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.
