question Can I appeal the denial of my request to expedite a VA appeal for health reasons?

[PoeticPainter]

If my request to expedite my appeal due to a severe health issue was rejected, do I have the option to appeal that decision? I'm not clear on the reasons for the denial yet, as the letter was reportedly sent out today.

Generally not, unless the situation involves a terminal illness.

Okay, thank you! I'm in the midst of battling cervical cancer. I remain optimistic that this could be a sign from a higher power that everything will end well.
