Veterans for Common Sense   says it takes an average of 4.4 years for a Veteran to appeal his claim at the BVA.   Many Vets can not wait 4 years for their benefits and become homeless while on the long waiting list.  The VARO's keep making the same mistakes, over and over again, denying Veterans and never learning anything from the court cases that reverse the denials.The  Veterans Benefit Manual  published by Lexis Nexus demonstrates that there are 22 common errors made by the RO's requiring Veterans to appeal or forfeit their benefits.   These common mistakes, repeated by the VARO's over and over again, result in Veteran homelessness en masse.<br/><br/>
