  1. Check to be sure you can request a Board Appeal

    You can request a Board Appeal up to 1 year from the date on your
    decision notice. (Exception: if you have a contested claim, you have
    only 60 days from the date on your decision notice to request a Board
    Appeal.)

    You can request a Board Appeal for these claim decisions:

    • An initial claim
    • A Supplemental Claim
    • A Higher-Level Review

    Note:
    You can’t request a Board Appeal if you’ve already requested one for
    this same claim.

  2. Gather your information

    Here’s what you’ll need to apply:

    • Your mailing address
    • The VA decision date for each issue you’d like us to review (this is
      the date on the decision notice you got in the mail)
  3. Start your request

    We’ll take you through each step of the process. It should take about 30
    minutes.
