2017 (AMA). The VA Form 9 Appeal to
Board of Veterans’ Appeals may be used
to complete a legacy appeal to the
Board. The completed form becomes the
‘‘substantive appeal’’ (or ‘‘formal
appeal’’), which is required by the preAMA version of 38 U.S.C. 7105(a) and
(d)(3) to complete an appeal to the
Board. Additionally, the proposed
information collections allow for
withdrawal of services by a
representative, requests for changes in
hearing dates and methods under 38
U.S.C. 7107, and motions for
reconsideration pursuant to 38 U.S.C.
7103(a).
The Board is requesting to revise the
currently approved OMB Control No.
2900–0674 to include an updated VA
Form 10182 Notice of Disagreement.
Proposed revisions to the VA Form
10182 Notice of Disagreement include:
(1) Removal of the requirement to
provide a social security number; (2)
inclusion of checkboxes to indicate a
preferred method of hearing; (3)
inclusion of a checkbox to indicate
whether the decision for which appeal
is being sought was issued by the
Veterans Health Administration (VHA);
(4) provision of a list of examples of
common issues a claimant may disagree
with including service connection,
disability evaluation, or and effective
date of award; (5) inclusion of a
checkbox to request an extension of the
deadline to file a Notice of
Disagreement; (6) removal of the
checkbox used to indicate whether the
Notice of Disagreement has been filed in
response to a Statement of the Case or
Supplemental Statement of the Case
issued under the legacy appeals process;
(7) replacement of the checkbox for
indicating the claimant ‘‘is homeless’’ to
indicate whether the claimant is
‘‘experiencing homelessness’’; (8) a
clarified description of the window of
time within which to submit evidence
on the Evidence Submission docket; and
(9) adding a subpart to Part III for issues
the appellant wishes to include in the
VA Form 10182 that need to be listed
on additional sheets. Proposed revisions
also include updated instructions for
completing the Notice of Disagreement.
There is a decrease in the respondent
burden because the associated control
number originally included the
nonstandard legacy Notice of
Disagreement. Consistent with the
wind-down of legacy appeals following
implementation of the AMA, the Board
is not seeking renewal of the
nonstandard legacy Notice of
Disagreement under this control
number.
