Question
danang_1969
I reopened a claim in July 2006 that was first filed in 1997. It was denied on the whole claim again in May of 2007. In the decision they telegraphed many errors they made in working my claim to me. I filed a NOD with De nova review and submitted new evidence with a diagnosis of PTSD by a VA C&P examiner. I was able to prove the mistakes once I saw the direction and how they were making the mistakes, but was denied on hearing loss, tinnitus, and others conditions on the same claim. I filed an appeal and checked the regional level box for the appeal, which I thought would be best to go the regional level route because I finally proved through IMO's to dispute to hearing loss test was due to acoustical trauma(loud Noise). I also have produced VA records to dispute to them a more severe illness of the PTSD than I was granted. I have notarized buddy letters, medical document that back up all the other conditions as well. I just received from the RO, ignoring the regional office box that was checked. They sent a form letter to me asking me if I want a Travel board hearing, a video conference, or ask the hearing board to consider the evidence on record to the BVA in Washington. What I really desire is the same regional appeals team with the regional office that made the decision to grant the 30% PTSD and denied the others to look at all this evidence again, this time with the disputed and extra evidence. It seems to me if I have rebutted and proved where there mistakes are, and I believe I have, this is the best avenue and the shortest time route to go. Is it possible to do this? Is there any form or anyway I can do that? If so what form or what process would I need to take. How would I answer this letter? How would I fill out the form and ask for the RO for a regional reconsideration at the regional level before they sent it on to the BVA. Have I gone as far as I can go at the regional level. I really think if I could get the Regional Appeals Team to look at the evidence again with my new evidence submitted, it would be a totally different outcome this time. Bertha, Pete, anyone got any answers for me on this. I only have about 20 more days to return the form.
