List the options after a Board Appeal decision, without advising which to take
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- List the two options the Board page states after a decision the veteran disagrees with, and the 120-day period as the page states it. Write no advice on which option to take.
- What the lawyer must review
- VA.gov: if the person disagrees with the Board's decision, and has new and relevant evidence, the person can file a Supplemental Claim, or can appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims within 120 days from the date on the decision letter. The Court appeal is filed with the Court, not with VA. You decide whether the evidence is new and relevant, and whether to appeal. You write any advice and any filing. You do not tell the client which option to take until you have made that decision. The page also says a person cannot request two Board Appeals in a row for the same claim. The contested-claim sentence on that page states a 60-day period. It does not, in the words on the page, authorize a second Board Appeal.
