The chapter does not have access to VA claim management system, so we cannot check the status of your claim or appeal.  You can monitor the status of your claims by logging in at the VA website at https://www.va.gov/claim-or-appeal-status/.  You may contact our national service office at 727-319-7444 for the status of your VA claim.
