I'm trying to figure out the order of paperwork as a claim and appeals progress. I think I'm missing a set of paperwork, but don't know for sure. Specifically, a Decision letter from the Regional Office that fits between #7 and 8 in the below list. Shouldn't I get a Decision letter with rating info before getting a Statement of Case?
This is what I have so far:
Claimant - Claim for compensation
VA - Decision
Claimant - Notice of Disagreement
VA - Statement of Case
Claimant - Appeal
DRO/BVA/CAVC mess (Decision Review Officer/Board of Veterans Appeals/US Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims)
VA - Decision by judge. Awarding some claims and remanding some.
VA - Statement of Case. Denied 3 items. No mention of others.
Any help is appreciated because I am confused. I have 2 options right now with the 60-day deadline to answer the SoC: Do it now, and address everything in the claim NOT addressed in the SoC -OR- wait a little longer hoping a Decision letter comes (if there's supposed to be one) to explain the missing items.

Yes. Since you received a bva decision, where at least some benefits were awarded, you should get an "implementation decision" by the regional office, implementing the decision. As far as a SO
