Question
Jay
I called my VFW rep yesterday and was told my file was RANDOMLY pulled and sent to Tenessee for something called Systematic Technical Accuracy Review (STAR) which I was told takes about 60 days. The VFW rep told me very rarley are C-Files pulled when claims are still pending as is the case with my file.
I've done searches and am not finding much detailed information on this STAR revew. It mostly talks about it's purpose is for accuracy and consistency of claims of ROs in different regional centers. But what can the recommendations do to one's claims?
The reason for the concern:
I had a rating decision in June that was fairly favorable but did not totally hit the mark. Therefore, I put in a NOD for an early effective date and percentage increase. I learned that this NOD I put in for the recent June rating decsion was not part of my C-File that went to this STAR review (this NOD included a recent letter regarding a C&P and rating decision that I believe should help my BVA appeal contentions).
Any detailed advice on this STAR review thing especially with regards how it may or may not effect previous and current rating decisions, pending NODs, or the BVA appeal that I have open since 2005 (certified and docket number has been assigned).
Thanks
