Dro Hearing

[carlie]

I've got another DRO Hearing Wed AM and I am a freaking wreck.

They have these damned issues so discombobulated it's a freaking

mess.

Damn - I'll be reading something and realize it's an SSOC

say from 2008 and it will state something like some material difference

from the SSOC dated 2006.

I start looking thru the evidence and it will say something like,

additional evidence contained in the SOC dated 2005 and evidence submitted

with you NOD on XXX 2004, and all evidence contained in the

Rating Decision dated 2001.

It's a friggin bunch of BS we are put through - right now I am just so

fed up and filled with hate and rage at the freaking bas*@#ds that

don't take any pride in doing adjudication or working in the mail room,

the pre-determination team, or the C&P examiners.

If it weren't for the half azzed work that is done most of the damned

back log would not exist - but hey I guess that's job security.

I just recently had 2 issues SC by BVA - one goes back to 1999.

The VARO figured the effective dates for staged ratings but they

only went by the PFT findings. The decision listed in the evidence 8 different

PFT findings to support their staged ratings - but the bas&$@( that did this

negated to look over or list any of my Echos from 1999 forward, which support

a single 100% rating from 2000 - which would also provide me SMC S from 2000.

OH but hell no - they can't do the Fing job right so now even after all the BS,

I'll have to NOD the damned VARO's poor decision because they did not bother

to adjudicate all of the evidence.

SOB's - I just want to rip the sheet out of something - I am soooooooo glad

I don't drink booze any more or for sure - I would be a bad azz drunk right now.

I can't find my thread asking everyone, how long since you had a dro hearing.. (those that had dro hearings).

so here it goes.. had my dro hearing dec. 2010. Stil awaiting a decision on 6 issues... but it looks like 3 ares till undecided and with the RO, the other 3 may have been moved to the BVA... but still, it's along time for soemthing so simple and had the evidence,, and they agreed the evidence is there...

the issues started on active duty due to the work I did and was treated medically on active duty for the conditions. The condition have since contuned to worsen, and have not wored in 20 years and wil never be able to work again..

I keep getting sicker while I wait,, newest diagnosis is Glaucoma... left eye..

already had cataracts both eyes, then surgery on right eye.. (I am not claiming the eyes, at least not right now..).

Intestinal disease, neurological disease, back disease, necratizing pancreatiits, edema, thrombosis (splenic and portal veins (through the liver)... and much much more..

long periods of hospitalizaton (also was hospitalized on active duty then at the va as a civilian...).

7 months since dro hearing...

already rated 50% for headaches. I got 50% automatically 15 years ago, no appeal needed. now they deny deny, until I die..
