How are you doing? I have some questions about what to do after a board decision I have a problem with.
================
Of course. Do you disagree with the board decision and have new and relevant evidence that supports your case?
No, while I do disagree I lack the evidence that you need.
================
Because of that I want to request another review from a higher level. Is that possible?
Yes, you can request a Higher-Level Review of an initial claim or Supplemental Claim decision. This option isn't available after a Higher-Level Review or Board decision though.
================
Alright. So what is the time limit on requesting a review?
You have 1 year from the date on your decision to request a decision review.
================
Ok, got that. And what if VA schedules an exam for me?
In that case be sure not to miss them. They are important.
================
I wasn't planning to. Tell me, if a senior reviewer gives it a second glance, what exactly will happen?
A senior reviewer will take another look at your case and determine whether the decision can be changed based on a difference of opinion or an error.
================
