Sample Nod

[Ret.Navy]

Is there any where to find a sample NOD as a guide to file an appeal?

[Ret.Navy]

Do I submit any evidence or explaination with my NOD, or just simply a statement saying that I disagree with their findings?

here's a copy and paste of Jim Strickland's sample template for a NOD.

Dear Sir/Madame:

I applied for a disability benefit rating DATE.

I am in receipt of your letter of DATE that notifies me that your decision is to deny my request.

This letter is my Notice of Disagreement with that decision.

I wish to appeal that decision using the DRO process.

Thank you for your kind consideration of my request.

Respectfully,

John Doe
