Flatbroke Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Had My hearing today at St. louis RO. The DRO was pretty good guy, he seperated the two issues, EED he defered by saying he did not have the authority to override the BVA decision on an EED and that I should NOD to the BVA thier decision. If I skip the RO and go direct to the BVA I might be able to save two years. I like the advice and my attorneys did also and they are studying on that possibilty. On a higher rating he is scheduling me for a new C&P for lower back pain ( spina bifida and spondilisis). He is the one who closed my request for PTSD, he said I had a strong stressor letter, and something else that I needed and he was scheduling me for a C&P for PTSD. He also went back to 1970 in my c-file and found the letter that I had been requesteing and the rating letter that they did not give the Vets back in 70 . He made copies of both letters right then. On the denial letter if states " We have found it necessary to deny your claim for back condition, because this condition cannot be classified as a disease or injury for which compensation can be paid. Not Spina Bifida or spondilisis just back condition DUH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
