Should I Ask For A Dro When I File My Nod

Rate this question

Question

Hi All, need some more help.

I am filing a NOD for the RO denial of my PAD secondary to my SC DMII. I was speaking with an attorney from Florida who suggested I ask for DRO hearing. Since I have new IME/IMO that a face to face review of the new IME will help get the rating.

What does everyone think?

Thanks again,

Hugh

Yes, a DRO review may negate the next step, which would be BVA appeal, if you are successful withe the DRO process, if not then can still do the BVA appeal.

Thanks for the feedback, I will file the NOD and request a DRO hearing.

Filed my NOD requesting a DRO hearing. Let's see how long this will take!

Not to be a downer - but I for-see about 2 years or more for the DRO Hearing to be scheduled.

It will depend on how backed up your VARO is, how many requests are in front of yours and

how many DRO's (G-13 or higher if I remember right) are available there or available to travel

to different VARO's.
