Recieved Letter From Regional Va.

[tagandbag]

St. Pete Regional, just sent mea letter on my NOD. They want to know if I want to go the traditional appeal process or with a Dro. Not sure what the best way is to go. Anyone have a suggestion?

[Guest Vietnam Tanker]

I would go with the DeNovo DRO process, you can alway's appeal later.

[john999]

Ask for a personal hearing with the DRO.

[tagandbag]

Thanks Vietnam Tanker and John999, I'll take your advice.

Ask for a personal hearing with the DRO.

DeNovo Dro Process is my suggestion as well..Peace, William

You really are getting one more bite at the apple before it goes to the BVA. You can win your claim just as easy at the VARO than waiting two years for a BVA appeal. The VARO is really the logical place to fight your claim. You have the absolute right to a personal hearing at your VARO. This is really above and beyond the DRO process. I don't think you are limited to one hearing. By staying in the face of the VARO you can accomplish a lot through the fact they just want to get rid of you. It is called the "Pest" doctrine.
