The VA Appeals Modernization Decision Review Quick Start Guide (QSG)\u00a0provides\u00a0clear and concise\u00a0information for the next steps a Veteran can take when they disagree with the decision VA made on their disability compensation claim. Appeals Modernization offers Veterans more choice, clarity and control over the decision review process and helps them seek faster resolution of their disagreement.<\/p>\n

VA implemented The Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017 on February 19, 2019. As a result, Appeals Modernization transformed VA\u2019s complex \u201clegacy\u201d appeals process.<\/p>\n

Appeals Modernization benefits Veterans who disagree with the decision VA made on their compensation claims. Since February 19, 2019, Veterans have had a choice of three lanes for a review of the original VA decision. Previously, when a Veteran disagreed with a VA claim decision, the Veteran had to \u201cappeal\u201d the decision. That \u201clegacy\u201d appeals process was complex, inefficient, and often led to a lengthy wait for a second decision.<\/p>\n

The new Quick Start Guide helps Veterans understand the new review lanes: supplemental claim, higher-level review, or direct appeal to the Board of Veterans\u2019 Appeals.<\/p>\n
