VA Form 10182 (Notice of Disagreement)

Follow these steps to request a Board Appeal

Check to be sure you can request a Board Appeal

You can submit this online form (VA Form 10182) to appeal a VA decision dated on or after February 19, 2019. The Board must receive your completed form within 1 year (365 days) from the date listed on your decision notice, unless one of these situations apply:

If our decision involves a contested claim, the Board must receive your completed form within 60 days from the date listed on your decision notice. A contested claim is when a favorable claim decision for one person results in denial or reduced benefits for another person.

If you have a Statement of the Case (SOC) or a Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC) from the old appeals system dated on or after February 19, 2019, the Board must receive your completed form in one of these time frames, whichever is later:
  • Within 60 days from the date on the SSOC letter, or
  • Within 1 year of the decision date by the agency of original jurisdiction

You can request a Board Appeal for these claim decisions:

  • An initial claim
  • A Supplemental Claim
  • A Higher-Level Review

Note: You can’t request a Board Appeal if you’ve already requested one for this same claim.

Gather your information

Here’s what you’ll need to apply:

  • Your mailing address
  • The VA decision date for each issue you’d like us to review (this is the date on the decision notice you received physically in the mail)

Start your request
