After expiration of the 30-day period for response in [§ 20.404](/cfr/38/20.404.md), the Board will place all parties of the simultaneously contested claim on the docket for the type of review requested under [§ 20.202(b)](/cfr/38/20.202.md?p=b). In the event the parties request different types of review, if any party requests a hearing the appeal will be placed on the docket described in [§ 20.800(a)(iii)](/cfr/38/20.800.md?p=a-iii), and VA will notify the parties that a hearing will be scheduled. If no party requested a hearing, but any party requested the opportunity to submit additional evidence, the appeal will be placed on the docket described in [§ 20.800(a)(ii)](/cfr/38/20.800.md?p=a-ii), and the parties will be notified of their opportunity to submit additional evidence within 90 days of the date of such notice.
