Question
capted
My DRO hearing claim was denied for presumptive illness of PC due to no records that I was in Vietnam.
Five notarized buddy letters from fellow aviators attesting that I was in Vietnam were listed as evidence in the SOC.
My VA advocate and I discussed these letters in the presence of the DRO for 13 pages of the transcript of the hearing.
In the SOC REASONS AND BASES:
The DRO purposely ignored by buddy letters in the REASONS AND BASES section.
I had hard evidence that my squadron (VP-42) was deployed to Iwaukuni, Japan and sent
detachments to Vietnam. I had hard proof that I was a Naval Aviator member of VP-42 at
the time VP-42 was sending detachments to Vietnam. Combined with the credible lay evidence
of 5 Naval Officers the decision should have been in my favor.
The DRO stated "There is no basis in the available evidence of record to establish service connection for prostate cancer".
The buddy letters were listed as evidence and discussed.
She did not refute the letters (available evidence) in the REASONS AND BASES, she purposely ignored them.
Is this a mistake in clear and unmistakeable evidence or fraud?
Should I sue?
Why should I have to wait two years or more for a VBA?
