Certification Of Appeal

[MPsgt]

The VARO just posted a Certification of Appeal dated 07/23/2013 for my TDIU claim. They've been working the claim just about two years already. My Veterans Service Officer was trying to get a DRO before it ever left for BVA. At this point, is it already to late to get the DRO. If it is, I'm up the creek without a paddle for two to three years!

Praise the Lord and pass the Waiver. Thank you Carlie. Am I the only one besides Carlie who has heard of a Waiver of Review? Please, Ladies and Gentlemen Vets. If you do not know what you are doing on a claim, refrain from offering advice to others. They may inadvertently take your advice and lose or delay for years a claim that could be resolved sooner. MPsgt. has already been pickpocketed on this once by either the VA or a VSO officer or it would appear so. It is difficult enough trying to feel your way through this and put your trust in others. VA is a past master at Remand ping pong. VSOs allow this to happen. When it gets to the BVA, keep it there until you win. If not, proceed to the CAVC and win there. The idea is always to help. Our motto should be Hippocratic-First do no Harm.

I hear they have vanilla and chocolate waivers. Just be careful and not get the crumbs in your new 2013 Nexus. Come to think of it, I have not seen a 2013 Nexus. Are those any better than the 2012's??

ASKNOD is Right and I certainly erred years ago by not filing this waiver on my AO DMII death claim.

I was suffering from an illusion.

With exceptional probative evidence along with 3 IMOs, I actually thought my RO would consider all of my evidence and award the claim. even pressed the for a double DRO review, and they still ignored my evidence.

Neither the Buffalo VARO, nor the AMC, nor the Seattle VARO ( the farm stalls) read any of my evidence.

7 Years later the BVA awarded the claim.

The BVA can read.

( then the VARO refused to send me my money. I sent them the regs for it...FCA offset refund due to roving SC death)

and fnally I had to yt pressure on the OGC to send them the regs. Once OGC did that, and ordered them to pay me, that issue was resolved.

The Office of General Counsel VA also

can read.

I called the AMC and Seattle 'farm stalls' because many of us were getting our stuff 'farmed' out to other ROs, in my opinion,

just to stall a proper decision (meaning they would actually have to read the evidence)

It was a travel board. My service officer and wife attended the "board" too. It was recorded. My wife and I took an Oath. I signed a document allowing for my wife to be present & speak. My service officer did a considerable amount of speaking and informing. The "board" consisted of one woman sitting across the table from my wife and I. I responded in agreement to want my service officer was stating. I had an in depth pre-meeting with my SO too. The lady asked my wife several questions about my life before and after service. She asked me about dates regarding federal retirement, SSDI, and when I had stopped going to work. Supposedly, the lady will issue a docket #. I should receive an emailing with that docKet # in a couple of months. We'll see. I think it went okay. My SO said it went real well too. He said she wasn't an A******* like so many others. That's it.
