What is a VA Form 10182?
VA Form 10182, the Decision Review Request: Board Appeal (Notice of Disagreement), lets you formally challenge a VA decision you disagree with. Filing this Notice of Disagreement sends your case to the Board of Veterans' Appeals, where a Veterans Law Judge reviews the issues you raise. Timing matters: the Board must receive or postmark your form within one year of the date your local VA office mailed the decision notice. Missing that deadline can cost you the right to appeal, so submit as soon as you decide to move forward.

When is a VA Form 10182 not required?
You skip this form when the initial decision predates February 19, 2019, since legacy claims use VA Form 9 instead. You also don't need it if you choose a Supplemental Claim or Higher-Level Review rather than a Board Appeal. Veterans pursuing either lane can settle their disagreement without filing this Notice of Disagreement at all.
