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.

Just got back home, the wife and myself took a little road trip. Went up around the orlando, ocala, gainesville area.

Saw mickey mouse then went up to cross creek. Some friends of ours own the twin lakes fish camp. It is absolutley beautiful up there. The yearling closed for the summer season so we didn't get to check that out. I liked cross creek a lot more than seeing mickey. Lot of vn vets go there to hunt, fish and relax.

Anyways, haven't heard anything from the va, since the ssoc. No retro, no letter nada. My attorney last week told me they lost the paper work as to them being my representative, second time. I'll will call tommorow to see what's going on.

Sounds like this DRO is on a power trip, or those higher on the scale than him told him not to grant the claim. That does happen especially if there is back pay issue. My DRO denied my CUE after agreeing that the VA had made an error. That admission did not show up in the transcript. Someone higher up explained the facts of life on 35 years of back pay to this jacked up clerk. So we take it to the BVA. This is what happens when the system functions to delay a claim instead of expediting it.

And many of them claim, CLAIM, to be former Vets. I don't get it. Even if the guy doesn't grant the IU, he could be cordial about it. I think the VA needs and overhaul of all its personnel. Could you add undo stress, thanks to the DRO...
