Question
Runrdud3
October 2015, I filed for a DRO review at my local VA Regional Office.
Contention: Increase rating for Menieres Disease exceeding 30%
I received the SOC in late Jan, 2016 stating that I was denied due to no evidence of Cerebellar Gait (Gait abnormality) which is a part of the requirements for an increase. I gathered new evidence of cerebellar gait from my ENT and private physician stating that i do indeed suffer from that as well.
On Feb 1, I met with my rep at the DAV who called the DRO to his office to speak with me and I turned over the additional evidence directly to the DRO. The DRO stated she would work on it as soon as she could.
Has anyone ever had a re-look after an SOC was issued? Reason I ask is I have word for word medical documentation that is exactly why the SOC was denied. Do you think this is still doable?
