Question
Ryguy
I'm in the middle of my appeal for my upper back and neck chronic issues. I was previously denied these issues back in 2007 from Atlanta VA. I've moved now and the DRO is reviewing my claim in the city in which I now live. The VFW Rep. did tell me my case would be decided by February 27, 2010.
My doctor from the VA in Atlanta wrote in his notes that i had chronic upper back and neck ridoculpathy which was service related and he recommended my past employer take note of this when giving me work assignments.
My current doctor wrote in his notes that all my neck and upper back problems are subsequent of the accident I was involved in and that it is more likely than not related to the accident. He also wrote in his notes that he recommends me to appeal the VA's denial decision.
So my question is, if i'm denied again with the traditional dro review, Should i jump the gun and get an attorney, I saw so many positive results with attornies on this website.
*I am also getting a buddy statement from someone i recently found on facebook who remembers my neck and upper back conditions.
*Do you Hadit Pro's think I still need an IMO for this type of case
Thank you guys for all you do
