Question
Jim 501st
I will not go into details of my case at this time, but a short statement and a question.
I had a televised DRO hearing in Dec. 2008. It covered four issues. I got a ssoc and denial on all four issues in March of 2009'( I also got a copy of the transcript which was a joke. Everything I said was not legible, maybe three words per sentence connected by lines.)
My rep. advised me to fill out a form 9. He said if I wanted a televised hearing it would take about two years at the Huntington RO. If I could afford to go to DC it would probably be within a year so I elected to go to DC.
I filled out the form 9 in May 2009. I turned my case over to a Lawyer the 1st of June 2009.
I received a letter on the 15Th of Oct. 2009 advising me I had an appointment the 30 of Oct 2009 at the Huntington ro with a traveling VBA Judge.
I was represented by Jan Dill law firm which has an office in Charleston. They had just received a copy of my c-file a week before and when I went for my appointment a week before my hearing they had already gotten an IME on the claim for my Knees.
I noticed that the Judge was completely familiar with my case and ask if it was alright if we waived the right to the hearing in DC and had it there. Of course I agreed. I also noticed that she phrased her questions in a manner that I had to give an answers that supported my claim on all four issues.
After the hearing My Lawyers wanted to meet with my wife and me in private. They told us they had eight other cases before that Judge that week and I was the only one that the Judge ask leading questions. The Lawyers also had a brief meeting with the Judge after the hearing, before meeting with my wife and me. In our meeting they were absolutely gleeful and told me I would have my decision within two to three months.
My question is. Does this Judge go back to Dc and make the decisions on each case or is it turned over to a board or what and does this case sound like normal protocol.
