Armand Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Armand The VA should correct this mistake without you having to file an NOD. There must be some human being at your VARO who can get this straight if you show them this regulation. You'd think so wouldn't you John? I already sent this regulation to my DAV Service Representative months ago. But, I swear, everytime I'm lucky enough to get through to someone at the DAV office, it's a new person. They must go through reps like shit through a goose. I've already sent in my NOD and am waiting to hear something from the DSO about a hearing. I should probably pass this info on to the entire web.

Yes-he could file Request for Reconsideration and tell them of the law he put here- BUT veteran- this does not stop the NOD clock- if they dont get this fixed-you still have to file the NOD within one year after their decision. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I see you did file NOD already -still you could file for reconsideration anyhow and see what they say- I learned a long time ago that what a vet rep says might or might not be fact- if they dont have the right answer I think they often just make something up.

Berta: I couldn't agree with you more. You get a different answer from them everytime you call about the same issue. They (VA reps) are poorly trained and "shoot from the hip" too often. Plus, I think they're overworked and are probably stressed out. Anyway, here's the regulation on my situation: e-CFR Data is current as of January 29, 2008 Title 38: Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans' Relief PART 3—ADJUDICATION Concurrent Benefits and Elections Browse Previous | Browse Next § 3.710 Civil service annuitants. Department of Veterans Affairs benefits may be paid concurrently with civil service retirement benefits. However, payments will be considered income as provided in §3.262 (e) and (h). [29 FR 15208, Nov. 11, 1964] I never heard of "filing for reconsideration". How does that differ from the Decision Review Officer? Armand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
