Hi all,

Can someone tell me how to do or post a sample of a Reconsideration Letter.

Thanks!

Your replies are greatly appreciated.

Carlie,

I've had questions about the difference between a NOD and a Reconsideration...great links! Thanks.

Pilgrim posted his Recon Request and it is well stated:

A Reconsideration Request with the BVA takes the form of a Motion (this is explained in post here today to Steppenwolf)

and a Recon request on a RO decision just needs the same type of format which can be typed on a 21-4138 form.

The request shold contain new evidence-which could be evidence that VA had but failed to consider at all.

It does not take the place of a formal NOD and if they dont act on the request as the NOD year draws close then a NOD should be filed.
