Abstract: Appellate review of the denial of VA benefits may only be initiated by filing a Notice of Disagreement with the Board. 38 U.S.C. 7105(a). The VA Form 9, "Appeal to Board of Veterans' Appeals," is required to complete a legacy appeal to the Board. The completed form becomes the "substantive appeal" (or "formal appeal"), which is required by 38 U.S.C. 7105(a) and (d)(3) in order 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).

Short Statement: Because the Board is seeking to add a checkbox and remove a checkbox, it is estimated that a respondent’s burden would be unchanged by the requested revisions. The estimates are consistent with those provided in the previously approved collection, because the requested changes to the VA Form 10182 do not add any additional burden to the processing of the form. Rather, the checkbox will eliminate the need to delay issuing decisions in appeals that are otherwise ready for adjudication and send appellants letters of clarification, thereby decreasing the overall administrative burden caused by Williams, supra. The estimated burden hours and estimated number of respondents are those who will use the VA Form 10182. The previously approved collection included estimates for the use of additional forms, including the VA Form 9, which are not being revised at this time.
