Denied Iu....

[tagandbag]

The attorney called and said the DRO will not grant IU. The DRO said he doesn't care what the law or courts say about being 100% and when it should be applied. Take it to the BVA, is what he said and there is 850 day backlog at the BVA. I'm a lttle down in the dumps but what r ya going to do. Just have to deal with the ba&%#rds for another 2.5 to 3 years.

if you have complicated medical issues and may not live 2-3 years your lawyer can ask for an expidited hearing my lawyer did in August 08 and my BVA hearing was in Feb 4 2009 BVA decision on 7 April and award letter 29 May and deposit on 4 June it never hurts to ask my claim has also been in the system since Nov 2002

I hope that you have documentation as to what the A**hole said. Get it in writing from your attorney if he is the one that heard this schumck say so.

If so, I'd make darn sure that I got it to your Congressman and Senator. They may have something to say in that regard.

Testvet,

I don.t plan on kikcin the bucket anytime soon, knock on wood. I'll ride, however long it takes.

Larry,

Yes the lawer did make note. He actually told the DRO, your ignoring the rule of law, of what the courts say to do. His response was I don't care. My atty. was not a happy camper and plus DRO misplaced some other papers.

I wouldl request a meeting with the Director of the Regional Office. He is the boss of the DRO. May be able to get it resolved

I would wait for the decision in writing -

check the Reasons and Bases Section

and follow Sharon's suggestion.

Sorry sweetie - wish it were granted.

Tag, I don't get it either, sure there is some illogical thought on their behalf - hang in there, the law is there for a reason. Hearsay is that until written or recorded, isn't it. Keep focused on the end result too..getting the results and going the next step higher asap seems 'logical'. Okay, I try to convince myself between the ups and downs it'll all work out for us with apps in for IU.

Best to ya and 'good vibes man!' ...'Kellys Heros',
