I am familiar with your claim.

In my opinion, you do not have a CUE issue.

These guys are right.....an IMO and more evidence would help.

An IMO will not avail this gentleman. As BroncoVet pointed out, the CAVC (and the 3rd Circus) are Courts of Law, not triers of fact. Mr. MOS1833 would need a remand for some defect of law in order to submit new evidence such as an IMO. Once the RBA is sealed at the BVA and the decision ink is dry, no more evidence is allowed to be entered into the record except under a mutually agreed upon scenario between the the parties as well as the court clerk. This is extremely rare. Asking VASEC to allow in (or to send out for) an IMO at this point is not going to be greeted favorably. Absent some earth-shattering legal epiphany, he will not be granted a Full Court review. His case must have had some significance if he even received a panel review. That it failed indicates much. If your own attorney says it's not viable, I don't see how asking for a full Court review will breathe new life into it. The Fed. Cir. won't even look at it if a matter of law is not raised.

Understand. I meant at the BVA level. I went all the way to CAVC, remand, and award at BVA. My thought at CAVC then was if I lose there, it's over.

But I still don't understand why an attorney would take the case (on contingent, I assume) at any level without more substantive evidence.

I think I am wrong here...wasn't this a CAVC denial???

Only recourse then is to a Fed Circuit court....but if it was a joint remand, then an IMO could help.

The CAVC only looks for major BVA legal errors that were prejudicial to the claimant. They dont accept IMOs or any new evidence when they decide the issue.

Sorry guys...I got a lot on my plate these days....and answer too fast sometimes.......

I helped a lawyer get a joint remand years ago..BVA made 2 legal errors .... but the vet's claim was awful.... one more claim clogging the system, while probative, awardable claims wait and wait......I dont see awful claims much however.
