Guest Berta
The DRO process is explained in M21-1 and there are certain steps to be taken by the DRO.
I was a little surprised that my vet rep at the VARO level- so extremely supportive of my claims- did not contact me about the SSOC I got-so I just emailed him-
The 800# said my POA had signed off on the SSOC last week.My vet rep is the chief POA I have there- he did not sign off on it and didnt even know I got it-or what it said---
looks like another violation of M21-1 DRO job descriptions and de novo review procedures.
This is NOT how a DRO review works at all-
He agreed- I am still in Relative Equipoise and should succeed under that specific criteria- and he is baffled because he saw the two IMOS in my c file and the DRO and the VSM said to him that they would definitely be given to the VA IMO doc and they weren't.
I just knew they wouldn't be given to the IMO doctor-they support my claim- her statements in my SSOC are medically ludicrous.
Then again I am used to that-
I wonder who signed off as my POA on this?
Bizarre. By the way I have an excellent vet rep at the VARO. It pays to be represented by someone who has office right in or near the VARO you deal with.
Bu then again it becomes apparently one more person they can lie to.
