ptsd Dro Hearing Re-Schedule?

[JamesPT]

Does anyone know if a DRO hearing can be re-scheduled? I filed for a DRO hearing for PTSD two years ago; I unexpectedly received a letter from VA Regional stating that I am scheduled for a DRO hearing March 27th. I will not be able to attend the hearing as I am out of state for medical appointments\therapy. My question is: can DRO appointments be re-scheduled, does the VA Regional permit\allow reschedules. This letter with appointment date was unexpected, it just suddenly arrived. Has anyone ever needed to re-schedule a DRO hearing due to schedule conflicts. As I mentioned I got hit wih this out of the blue so to speak. I would think they would let me know with plenty of notice or a phone call to schedule the hearing. Anyway, if anyone has experienced the issue of having to re-schedule or wheteher the VA even grants you request for DRO hearing please let me know. Your advice\suggestions are much appreciated.

Jim - yes, you can reschedule it but having waited 2 yrs, I would try to make it, if at all possible. If you can't make it you can't make it but it could take a long time before a rescheduled hearing appointment to be made. jmo

Instead of rescheduling DRO Hearing I would reschedule the other appointments. You have waited to long tor this.

Good Luck

Please do not make the major mistake of not going at all
