Hello, I was wondering what the next steps are now that I requested a review of a decision.
================
Of course. You can find out what happens after you request a decision review on our page.
Does VA schedule exams for you?
Yes, we made an appointment for an examination.
In that case be sure not to miss them.
================
Yeah, I don't plan to. *not possible to ask a question*
*not possible to reply*
================
How much time do I have to file a higher level review?
You have 1 year from the date on your decision to file a higher-level review.
================
I won't need that long. So, is it possible for me to file a higher level review to begin with?
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 appeal. It's also not available if you're one of multiple people claiming the same benefit, this is rare.
================
I've read some details about this on your page. If I call with a senior review, what do I have to expect?
During the call, you and/or your representative can talk about why you think the decision should be changed and identify errors.
================
Say, can I also apply by mail?
Yes, you can apply by mail.
