0 Moderator broncovet Posted August 9, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2016 The time is partly up to you. You can file a NOD the next day, or you can wait 364 days. After you file the nod, the VA will need to issue a SOC. This can take a year..sometimes more, sometimes less. Then YOU must file the I9 within 60 days of the receipt of the SOC. Now, you wait for your VSO to sit on the claim for anywhere from a few days to 18 months or more, like My VSO did. NOW, the waiting period on your VARO, again. Hopefully, they certify your claim to the BVA within another year. You can definately submit new evidence before the claim is submitted to BVA, which, as I explained can be 3 years, or it can be more or less. Finally you get a docket number. Eventually you will be "cut off" as to new evidence..if you send it in, AFTER the first SOC, then the VARO has to do a SSOC..more delays. Best is if you submit the IMO/IME within the first 2 years, but, again this depends on how long you take to file the NOD, and how long the VARO takes to file the SOC, how long your VSO sits on your claim, etc. Link to comment
0 sunnyh Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Not sure what to even call my claim at the moment. Lawyer's argument was used as an untimely appealed nod and law judge nevereven saw the argument. Rater opened 2 new claims --one for ptsd increase and other for tdiu. Both probably denied. BTW is it allowed to link IMO doctor above? I was worrying that maybe it's not allowed here? Thank you Broncovet Edited August 10, 2016 by sunnyh Link to comment
0 infantryvet1000 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Sunnyh I used valor compensation consulting. They were great assisted with my dbq, provided a records review, also an IMO. Mine was regarding sleep apnea and insomnia. Price was great 1000$ but they took several payments to help me out. I recommend them highly. Link to comment
0 smoothc100 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Sunnyh, I have used Valor Compensation Consulting and Dr. Valette for my NOD for PTSD. After 5 years of waiting and 2 C&P exams within a month or 2 from each other I was approved. Dr. Valette disputed the previous C&P exams and does a very good job on the IMO worth every penny in my opinion. It took both IMOs to have the VA schedule the C&P exam. Link to comment
0 Guest L Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I also used Dr Vallette, $2,000 :) Link to comment
