BEAAM Appeals - department-of-veterans-affairs/caseflow GitHub Wiki

The Board’s Early Applicability of Appeals Modernization program (BEAAM or BEEAM) was a test program in the summer of 2018 to exercise the Board's business and technical processes for supporting AMA appeals prior to the full rollout of AMA in February 2019 (more details about BEAAM can be found in this guide for representatives).

See Tech Spec: Improve handling of BEAAM Appeals.

A list of BEAAM appeals are listed in this unmerged PR and recently discussed in here. PR #16853 enables Distinguishing BEAAM appeals programmatically.

• Appeals 31 and 38 were backfilled upon the Board's request #118.
• Appeal 39 was backfilled due to this request #203.
• The decision documents and dispatch tasks for the other BEAAM appeals were backfilled here based on decision document data listed here.
  • BvaDispatchTasks were created so that an appeal reports a 'dispatched' status.
  • JudgeDecisionReviewTasks were created based on provided judge info
  • Attorney tasks were not created because the decision-drafting attorney is needed.
  • DecisionIssues were not created because they need to be extracted from the decision documents, linked, and confirmed.
  • Appeal 41 was backfilled here
