1. The @DeptVetAffairs for FY 2019 is fully funded. But some veterans tracking their appeals via Vets.gov think docket advancement has been frozen during the shutdown.

Vets tracking appeals who also believe this to be the case, follow this short thread.

2. First, we're told these things can ramp up before year's end, and slow afterward in the first few months of the New Year.

But we also know the others we spoke with are religious about tracking, and seem to have a good grasp on the typical pace of docket advancement.

So...

3. Take a screenshot to note your place on the docket via Vets.gov (daily). If you like the others have had no movement, at all, email @PPDNews --> [e-mail].

4. Update: We took a look at a bunch of these complaints. There does appear to be movement at least as of today and, while we're not experts on pace, are told it's common for the start of a year.

Give VA the benefit of the doubt. But we'll definitely keep an eye on it.
