Do You NEED That Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) Hearing?

The backlog of hearings at the Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) is substantial, leaving many Veterans to wait longer than they should for a decision on their VA claim. Join CCK LIVE as we break down the pros and cons of choosing a BVA hearing, what the current backlog looks like, what the fastest hearing option is, and what Veterans can do if they decide they don't want to wait for a hearing to receive a BVA decision.

It is important to note that Veterans should consult with experienced, accredited representation before taking any action to ensure their effective date is preserved, especially under VA's new appeals system.
