Open kellylein opened 1 year ago

Extend DDL functionality for Appeals.

Original DDL Epic: https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/va-mobile-product-view-610035bc5395bb000e62e529/issues/gh/department-of-veterans-affairs/va-mobile-app/4290

The VA.gov team has added the ability to retrieve Appeal Decision letters from VBMS using our current integration. We are currently filtering them out until we can build the experience for Appeals in addition to claims.

Story where we filtered the Appeals DDL out: https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/va-mobile-product-view-610035bc5395bb000e62e529/issues/gh/department-of-veterans-affairs/va-mobile-app/4744

Sprint 0 work scheduled to be completed in the last sprint of Q3 which ends on 10/10 - likely the Sprint 0 presentation will happen after based on how other Sprint 0s have worked. However reflecting end of Q3 sprint for its estimated date.

During a sprint 0 session we decided that the sprint 0 would not be necessary and could just continue into the next step for a future quarter.

@Hallm13 Got it. Thanks. Will update/remove from board to reflect

StacyB2023 commented 1 year ago

@Hallm13 Actually when we say "future quarter", are we saying, start step 1 in Q4?

As info, BVA has indicated interest in having Board decisions available online, but they're still working with general counsel to determine whether to do so. Before including those appeals on mobile, please check on whether a decision has been made. (Slack #benefits-management-tools would be a good place to ask)

Hallm13 commented 1 year ago

Appeals claims is hidden behind a feature flag on web until they make the following change:

VA sometimes will take a second look at letter when they hit the efolder and make more revisions
- They don’t want Veterans to see Letters too soon and need them to only see approved letters
- Web is implementing a delay from document creation
- Mobile would have to follow that approach
- Seems to be 2-3 days
- VA board of appeals surfaced this

Moving this to post-Q4 23 since there are still conversations going with the Board.

BVA still wants to hold off on adding this functionality as of 1/2/24: https://dsva.slack.com/archives/C04KHCT3ZMY/p1704232902714509

@kellylein Thanks. I will then move this into blocked and out of the "Next" for Q1

bischoffa commented 10 months ago

May be something to chat with Alayna about as this seems like a Benefits/Health thing after API

StacyB2023 commented 9 months ago

@ala-yna Just looping you in. You may hear of this in your conversations with BVA. Until they give us the green light we will leave this one in icebox/blocked for now. But just for awareness incase appeals comes up in conversations
