Review Officer

[Tower_Rat]

Well, I turned in the files to the review officer. I'm hoping they go over it all rather quickly, its not that great in length and it would be nice to have an answer soon. Anyone know about how long on the average it takes a review officer to eyeball your claim and then make a decision or a statement of case?

Thanks in advance

I waited 10 mos. Then I wrote a statement in support of claim withdrawing my NOD and asking for a reconsideration based on the new evidence I submitted 9 mos. prior. I had a favorable decision within 60 days of withdrawing my NOD. I also retained my EED.

I got my answer in 4 days from DRO. Of course my so called DRO was the guy I was saying made a CUE.

Mine was about eleven months.

The VA is going to pretend they actually considered your HB when you got 100%. I have the same sort of problem with my inferred IU claim. They are going to pretend it was not relevant or they did, indeed, consider it and rejected it.

Back in Feb 2005, the AMC issued a SOC for multiple sclerosis without granting any weight to Dr Bash's IMO's or service records. In June 2006, the BVA stated the raters were in violation of procedural law of properly considering evidence in the last three SOC's.

Soon, my claim will be three years of bonus justification for AMC raters.

To bad the dumb ass RO did not write on his SOC Decision that HB was considered. Or maybe that is good for me. I am a believer that if the VA failed to mention it than it could or should be CUE.
