Motion to advance on Docket?

[Bluntly]

Greetings,

Hadit family I’m currently still in the fight with the Va and have 4 appeals at the BVA awaiting an hearing. I applied for the motion in February of this year and it’s been crickets since. I started calling this month to inquire about it and keep getting the same generic answers. So today a nice lady finally was able to shed some light on it and said it’s currently waiting for a hearing to be scheduled, as it’s with the BVA hearing administrators. She said that’s a good sign but idk since no decision been made yet to grant the motion. Anyone else been in a similar situation? Or what else can I do on my end? And what to look out for etc. Would I hear about my hearing being scheduled first? Or would I hear about my motion being granted first? Thanks for the your time & responses

P.S. I have an attorney but haven’t heard back yet in regards to this.

When I filed my AOD I think it took about 90 days or less. The BVA contacted me by phone and by official letter informing me that my appeal was being placed on the AOD. If I remember correctly, I think it took about 30 days or less once I actually received my letter before I got my BVA decision and retro pay. I did not have an attorney, and I did not file for a hearing, it was a legacy remand returned from the VARO. The VARO screwed up my prior remand, so the BVA granted my AOD due to an Administrative Error.

Thank you for this. I’d just put in an inquiry to her and this my first time doing this. Hopefully I’ll have better luck as I always heard rumors that our congressman/woman don’t really move the needle dealing with the VA.

@jfrei I got my answer and it was denied. I can say I believe that my congressman made them make a move. After a week from filing the form to congress then I get an answer. Coincidence? lol I say not but thanks again for the advice because it worked for me. Now I’ll just sit and wait it out for the long haul for a BVA hearing.
