Is Asking For A Review The Same As A Nod

[hurryupnwait]

In my claims file copy, I noticed that I sent a letter to the VARO asking them to review my claim. Would this be considered a NOD?

Here is the letter,

The enclosed statements are from my doctor and my company accident report. Please review these records in relation to my disability compensation claim.

If the VA did not adequately advise you of any decision and also your appellate rights- you could write to them and explain that you believe the older claim is still pending as you never received a decision that you could NOD.

It is worth looking into----it would not be the first time the VA failed to send a decision to a veteran.

I got two decisions from the BVA 2 years ago-one was addressed to me and the other one was addressed to my husband, dead 13 years ago today as a matter of fact-this is a sad day for me.

I had to contact the POAs on the decisions and tell one rep his vet won 100% from the BVA and then tell the other rep his vet lost and I gave him some suggestions as to how the vet could re-open-when I sent the reps these decisions.

Hi Berta

Please accept my condolences.

I am very grateful for your help.

I returned Friday from Washington DC. I picked up a complete copy of my claims file from AMC and had a medical exam by Dr. Bash.

Happy Trails

Paul
