this is what an appeal to the Court Of veteran Appeals appears like

http://www.vetapp.gov/

Many cases take much longer.. the HAAS case goes back to Feb 2004



Below is case I have been following.. shows how long it takes to get NOTHING done. And of course,

The court will remand it back to BVA or VARO, and it will start all over, deny, appeal, remand, deny, etc etc

The Case started at VARO in 1998



Below is just while it was at the Court of Veteran Appeals
