Waiting a year at the BVA probably does not justify a Writ, most of them take at least that long, "if this is your only reason for filing a writ" (delays).  

I recall reading about a Vet who did so, and the attorney responded to the writ "While its unfortunate for this Veteran these delays", the VA has a backlog..blah, blah blah, and given the backlog, a year delay is inconsistent with an unreasonable delay...(paraphrasing).  He asked the judge to dismiss, so the VA can get back to work completing claims and not waste judicial resources on delays that can not be helped. 

In other words, given there are around 28 million Veterans, "every Veteran" can not be given an "advance on the docket".

Going on 3 years and not assigned to a judge yet.  If a writ would help, my attorney would of done it already.  Yes, I do trust him to do what is best for me.  Would not of hired him if I didn't.  I don't know how/why others after me have already been assigned a judge, some already have a ruling, but I know I'm not the only one waiting a long time.  The wait is hard, but for now I wait.  Come next year I may start pushing attorney to try something, anything, to get action.
