Recently, I published an article explaining that more than 76% of BVA decisions are in error, based on Bart Stichman’s Testimony to Congress.  Regional Office Decisions would actually be worse than that, because, remember, to get your claim to the BVA, it has to go through the RO and often the ” experienced decision maker”, the DRO first.

The question is, how do we find these errors, so that we can successfully appeal?

Well, yes, you can take your claim to your VSO, but how many of them have gotten this training  on how to detect errors in your claim?

If your VSO is unaware of these recent cases and this training to spot VA errors, then maybe you should ask him, “Why not”?
