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:
The burden has decreased since the previous approval due to a variety of factors. Most notably, the prior submission included the nonstandard legacy Notice of Disagreement while this submission does not. Consistent with the implementation of the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017 (AMA) on February 19, 2019, and the continuing wind-down of legacy appeals, the Board does not seek to renew the prior nonstandard legacy Notice of Disagreement in this information collection. Likewise additional changes in burden hours are consistent with the wind-down of legacy appeals following implementation of the AMA. A growing majority of appeals are submitted to the Board through filing a VA Form 10182 (an AMA form) which takes less time to complete than the VA Form 9, a legacy appeals form.
