deanbrt Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I put the following in another post but think it is notable enough to have it show on its own. It is very lengthy but if you sift through it you will get an idea what your odds are by VARO and also between DRO and traditional appeal. http://www.gao.gov/assets/590/585481.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcolwell Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks for sharing. So , DRO reviews take longer than BVA with not much better timeliness or results. jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanbrt Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 That was my feeling, Jim. I know that others will disagree. I was haunted by the words someone said to me early on. "At BVA they have lawyers that can read...." But it is all a crap shoot. At the right VARO and with the right DRO, you win..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted October 1, 2012 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 1, 2012 It really depends on where you live. The Size of the Regional offices and number of employees vs the number of claims is also a big factor. If a veteran lives in areas like Florida then SP Pete is a very busy place so expect longer waits. If you live in Huntington WV Ro jurisdiction then the process should be faster. This is what I have seen over the years. if you are in Indy or houston, I feel sorry for you. J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlie Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks for sharing. So , DRO reviews take longer than BVA with not much better timeliness or results. jim I do not agree with the above. 1st off, there HAS to be some sort of DRO review prior to even getting the claim issue/s under BVA's jurisdiction - even iid it's just through certification.
