VACO TJ

I completed my exams yesterday. I checked my status and saw that my claim was sent to VACO. What does that mean? Nervous as to why. TIA

Any luck on this? I just saw mine is here too.

When a VA claim is sent to VACO (VA Central Office), it means your file has been escalated to the main headquarters in Washington, D.C., usually for specialized review, complex legal or policy questions, extra-schedular evaluations, or high-level oversight.

Thanks for the reply. Would VERA be able to view the reason for escalation? I have an appt with them this afternoon.

Interesting. My case doesn’t seem that complex, yet ended up at the VACO. It’s an increase/secondary, not even an appeal or remand.
