Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION: How long does it take for the Board to issue a decision?

ANSWER:  The Board decides most appeals within 7 to 9 months from the date the case record is received from OWCP. The complexity of the issue(s) on appeal or a request for oral argument may affect the length of time it takes to decide an appeal.
