Question
63Charlie
Disappointed in the quality of legal help I recently received by a veterans law group.
I sent the firm copies of all of my NODs and a copy of my C-file.
All of the decisions that I wanted to appeal, I had previously filed NODs
I received a letter stating, "GOOD NEWS!" that we have filed a Notice(s) of Disagreement on my behalf.
I allow time to pass and decide I'd like a copy of what the "good news" is that they sent the VA.
I was promptly emailed a copy of their new NOD, per my request.
Once I review their documents, I find that they have appealed EVERY DECISION made by the VA.
I notified my case manager of my disappointment in their "shotgun" strategy for my appeals.
They appealed the only two fully favorable VA decisions which I have received that are service connected at the MAXIMUM rating.
WTH?
And if that wasn't enough, they decided to change my appeal process from a traditional appeal, to a DRO review.
I have zero confidence in getting a fair and impartial DRO review based upon past experiences with the raters at my VARO.
Looks like I'm back to square one again.

Got a phone call from my case manager. She is going to withdraw the two appeals. I'm taking your advice, Gastone, and taking a DEEP BREATH, and going to chill for a bit. Going to let th

Don't blame you one bit- When 'experts' are more ignorant than me- serious problem!

DRO's & Raters Are not that bad, some may not read the evidence but at a DRO Hearing you can see to it they do. I had an ENT VA Doc tried to have my 50% rating reduced back to 0% and matte
