I filed a NOD on VA Form 21-0958 and on that form...Part III - Appeal Process Election, Block 9. Select One Of The Appeals Processing Methods Below
I put an X in the block beside Decision Review Officer (DRO) Review Process.
Pretty clear right? Apparently not. Today I received a letter that begins: Dear Mr. XXXXXXXX: We received your written disagreement with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) decision of April 14, 2016. This letter describes what happens next: A few paragraphs down...How Do I Select DRO or Traditional Appeal Process? You must notify us within sixty (60) days from the date of this letter whether you want to have your case reviewed by the DRO or by the traditional appeal process. If we do not hear from you within 60 days, your case will be reviewed under the traditional appeal process.
Do they do this to get veterans so frustrated they will just give up or is it their way of passing as many cases as possible to the BVA and reducing the workload at the RO? Surely they can't be so incompetent that they can't read their own form.
Should I spend another $7.15 to once again tell them that I want a DRO review or should I attempt to contact someone via email, call Peggy, etc.? Contacting the VSO is not a good option.

GS106 Did you notice what the return address was and what was the zip code mailed from? The reason I ask is due to the fact when I received my reply from VA to my NOD, The return address on the

After all these years I think the VA just does not give a &^%$ about your claims or medical conditions. Everything they do is to make things more easy on themselves or to save money. It is an
