Is there any way I can speed up my appeal or claim?

Question

 

I had a formal DRO hearing in January 18th 2018. All 4 issues was pitched to the dr no questions was asked by the hearing officer. It has been 5 months since the hearing in detroit. Is this normal for them not to move on a case. I called the other day and asked a status i was told they was still waiting for transcripts to be uploaded. Can i do anything to move this faster.

There is nothing you can do to make the process move along any faster.

You're in a very long line with thousands of other veterans and you can't cut ahead of others. Trying to speed up the normally slow process will often derail your appeal or claim and set it back even further. Best estimates these days are 3 to 7 years for actionable appeals.
