Can an attorney help me get a faster decision on my appeal?

Question

Hi Jim, I submitted an appeal for agent orange though a DAV representative. Had a VA hearing in January 2017. The hearing officer did not make a decision. The DAV is telling me a decision still has not been made. I served in Thailand 71-72 . Should I contact an attorney or should I wait.

You have no choice but to wait for a decision. An attorney can't help you until the current adjudication is completed.
