Types of Appeals

Higher Level Review (HLR) with Informal Conference

Higher Level Reviews are filed at the VA Regional Office level and are a request for a Decision Review Officer (DRO) to conduct a fresh look at all the evidence associated with the claim. An informal conference may also be requested with a DRO to present a legal argument regarding any errors in a claim decision.  

Supplemental Claim

Supplemental claims are filed at the VA Regional Office level to provide new and relevant evidence in support of a claim. New evidence may include medical records, nexus letters, buddy statements, and more.

Notice of Disagreement (NOD)

Notices of Disagreement are filed at the Board of Veterans" Appeals (BVA), where a Veterans Law Judge will preside over the case. The options available are a direct review,  evidence submission review, and a videoconference hearing in front of a judge.
