Online Basic Training Course DISCLAIMER: On February 19, 2019, the VA’s Modernized Claims and Appeals System went into effect, drastically changing the VA claims and appeals process. Chapter 7 of this course, which discusses the VA claims process, has not yet been updated to reflect the changes under the new “modernized” system, which applies to rating decisions issued by the VA on or after February 19, 2019, and other claims that VA claimants have opted into the new system. However, the information in Chapter 7 is still relevant to claims in the old “legacy” system, which applies to claims for which the VA issued a rating decision prior to February 19, 2019, and that have not been opted into the modernized system. We will be updating Chapter 7 soon.
