Ricky:
I had a situation were I had requested DRO Hearing w/o REp (self-representation) asked VA Regional what was necessary for Review? I sent formal request (minus FORM-9) big error... Never heard from Regional until POA w/ Texas Veterans Commission & submission of nothing more than Form( no attachments nada, received hearing w/in 10 months. That's how I was treated @ Houston Regional...
Now awaitng another denial from DRO & VA so what's new heh?
To get this hearing it did take me some 8 years some of it was legit, I transferred to new region, (Chicago -
Houston) Chicago is worse than Houston...
Good luck!!!
