Good morning everyone,
First off, I'm completely new here, but I've spent the last couple of weeks combing this great site and found a bunch of really helpful information. Though there's something regarding my situation I haven't seen anyone else ask yet, as far as a Proposed Reduction goes:
Can I send in a letter requesting a hearing before I send in another letter stating I disagree with their decision with the evidence to support why?
They're proposing to reduce my service connection for PTSD due to MST from 100% down to 30%.
The reason I ask is because I read in the decision letter that I have 30 days to request a hearing, where theyll continue my scheduled payments until they schedule a hearing and make a decision at that hearing. If I don't make it in within 30 days, I can still ask for a hearing, but they will reduce the payments to the proposed rate......
I would send it all at once, but I could use some more time to compile my evidence, being that I have 60 days to send in evidence.
Also, would anyone happen to know of or have a sample of what those letters should look like?
Any advice or insight is welcomed and very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
