Hearing coordinators for the Board of Veterans’ Appeals

If you have questions about your scheduled hearing with a Veterans Law Judge, you or your accredited attorney, claims agent, or Veterans Service Organization (VSO) representative can email a hearing coordinator. Find the email address of the hearing coordinator team for your location.

What can a hearing coordinator help me with? 

A hearing coordinator can help you with your scheduled hearing before a Veterans Law Judge. 

Here are some examples of situations a coordinator can help you with: 

  • You’re scheduled for a virtual hearing, but you never received a link to join the virtual hearing
  • You’re scheduled for a videoconference hearing or an in-person hearing at a VA facility and you want to switch to a virtual hearing
  • Your virtual hearing is today, but you’re having trouble joining the hearing online

Note: Hearing coordinators can only help you with your scheduled hearing with the Board of Veterans' Appeals. 

If you have questions about your Board Appeal, you can email boardcustomerservice@va.gov

If you have questions about your predetermination hearing on a claim you filed at your local VA regional office, contact that office directly.
