VSO IHP pending - department-of-veterans-affairs/caseflow GitHub Wiki

Summary

The Appellant Notification module will notify an appellant when an IHP-writing VSO writes an IHP(Informal Hearing Presentation) for the appeal in lieu of a hearing. This applies to Direct Review and Evidence Submission type appeals. There are two ways where a VSO IHP might be pending:

1. A Direct Review or Evidence Submission type AMA appeal is created through intake. The claimant must have an IHP-writing VSO as their POA, and an InformalHearingPresentationTask is immediately created upon intake.
2. An attorney or judge assigns an IhpColocatedTask to an appeal through the appeal's case details page.

Prepended Methods

As stated above, there are two different tasks to track when sending out notifications for VSO IHP pending.

1. InformalHearingPresentationTask: The method that is being tracked is create_ihp_tasks! located in app/models/prepend/va_notify/ihp_task_pending.rb
2. IhpColocatedTask: The method that is being tracked is create_from_params(params, user) located in app/models/tasks/colocated_task.rb
