Question
marinevet61
On Thursday oct. 6 got a call from Louisville. The person wanted to know when would be a good time to set a date and time for a hearing. They wanted to know if I wanted formal or informal hearing by phone. He said informal DRO can make immediate decision and informal would take 2-3 months. Got another call today time and date was set.
I requested informal hearing. This hearing is on an appeal for Camp Lejeune from 2014. I hope I made the right decision requesting informal hearing. In the initial phone
Call the person talked briefly about some of the evidence that they had and I brought up the Nexus letter from my oncologist. She stated that the word could was used by
My oncologist. I felt that she was trying to tell me that the word could is not very strong. The dictionary defines "could" (To show a possibility.) Can anyone comment on
this? My original claim was rated and denied by an SME. I found out that the SME is only a PCP.( Primary Care Physician) who is not an expert in oncology. As I have never
Been through a DRO hearing I am asking for any advice as to what to expect.
Thanks to all of you
