United StatesVeterans’ appeals board would post weekly notices of assigned cases
The Board of Veterans’ Appeals would post weekly dates from its case lists for appeals assigned to a member for a decision, with some cases excluded.
What it does
Weekly online notices would show case-list dates for veterans’ appeals assigned for decision, except cases moved ahead in line or returned by the veterans’ appeals court. Assignment would not guarantee a decision that week.
Argument forWeekly notices could help veterans see which parts of the appeals waiting list the board is working on.
Argument againstThe exceptions could leave veterans with priority cases or court-returned cases unable to track their appeals through these weekly notices.
More detail
The Board of Veterans’ Appeals would post weekly notices on a VA website showing docket dates—the dates on its case lists—for cases assigned to a member for a decision. The notices would cover each of the board’s case lists, with the stated exceptions. Notices would exclude cases moved ahead in line and cases sent back by the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Each notice would explain that assignment does not require a decision that week. Each weekly notice would cover cases assigned for a decision during that week.
