I know this is inconsequential. but over the years I’ve looked forward to the BVA timely publishing their decision so as to see a pattern in their latest denial tactics. Here we are at Memorial Day weekend and we still haven’t seen a single one from 2012 published. I know they’re out there because I received two last week. Can it be that the BVA has drafted every man jack and impressed them in the service of deciding claims?
It’s bad enough that they have curtailed the amount published from all down to the first 400 in the last year. Now they have opted, from all outward appearances, to resorting to publishing none. Perhaps this will occur once a year now. Every December they can summarize with a few notable ones. I doubt they understand that many of us utilize their denials to craft pro se game plans in order to thwart this.
I check every day and the only notable improvement has been a change in the font and a more user friendly formatting when I copy and paste entertaining drivel from their ruminations. As most will note, their only endearing trait is the habit of being consistently inconsistent in the application of justice. The CAVC and the 3rd Federal Circus would be out of a job were it otherwise.
BVA’s logo should be
ONWARD THROUGH THE FOG
BOLDLY GOING NOWHERE
AT A SNAIL’S PACE
OR
WE WILL DECIDE NO CLAIM
BEFORE ITS TIME
Any other suggestions from the peanut gallery?

Me thinks mayhaps they be on to your assessment of them and they cannot therefore publish denials without NOD website beating them up. They wanted to run home and tell mommy and daddy how unjust this site is and the name calling, oh my.
Is this what the White house meant with the promise of a “transparent and open government”?

Yep!
oh yes, transparecy…what that means is that now the Feds have to report so just don’t report anything! Seriously, all of the Federal Agencies are doing that. DOL -VETS was supposed to appeal my USERRA complaint to the OSC within a certain time period…they didn’t. I lit a fire and sent email to everyone in charge. Then the OSC made a lightening denial on my appeal. That was back in 2011 and my USERRA case would have been the only one for 2011? But it still remains at zeroooo. Same thing with my discrimination complaint against the DOI. Had to light a fire via my Senator to get them to make a decision since they were months beyond what Title 29 stipulates. Another lightening denial and nothing reported! It appears that the VA is slow to react but they are getting on the transparency bandwagon by simply not reporting anything much.
When I first heard “transparency” I wondered WTF is up wid dat? Now I am beginning to get the picture. The POTUS really meant to say: “suppress then oppress”.
