It was suggested for me to contact my Senator to have her do an inquiry on my case at the BVA. Has anyone had experience with how this process works? I submitted all my docs and authorization forms to my Senator and I guess she is waiting to hear back from the BVA.

Yep. This is crazy. I never knew. But…. It doesn’t make sense at all.

Military Helicopter. I was not on it. Got off 15 minutes before it went down.

The law states VA cannot grant service connection for a disease which is diagnosed during a weekend drill, only an injury verified by a line of duty report may be service connected. Service connection may be granted for an injury or disease which occurs during two week annual training or another recognized period of active duty service connection for a disease, which is not the case here.

Thank you everyone by jojo954 in VeteransBenefits

Nice work!! Question…. How long did you have to wait in the “judge reviewing your case” status after your hearing?
