Where is there any VA REG in 38 CFR 3 or anywhere else that addresses "Request for Reconsideration?" Is this just a "well intentioned VSO" theory?" I recently advised a VET that was at the end of the 11th month after his "Denial Letter," to immediately file his NOD requesting DRO personal hearing so as not to loose his appeal right and keep his claim alive. In response, they were worried about the NOD filing derailing their "Req for Recon" that had been pending for many months. My opinion based on that discussion, the VET's VSO is at fault. This uninformed Vet relied on a VSO's well intended but mistaken-misguided advice and risked his denial becoming final. If anyone has had success with the "Req for Recon," please advise. How can a Vet ora VSO track the Req's status?
My understanding of the "Req for Recon" is you send in a ?formal? request to the VA Rating Dept to take another look at your recently denied claim, due to some perceived error in their Denial Decision. You haven't Filed a NOD, so this isn't an official start of the appeal process. Your just asking , please take another look. Same rater=Different outcome, maybe, but I doubt it.
I hope that any vet that goes the "REQ for Recon" route includes something to the affect, " Regarding my recent denial of claim dated --/--/----, i request that the rating department give reconsideration to following issues and evidence. If after Reconsideration my claim is not Awarded, no later than (--/--/----(360 days from original Denial letter date) accept this as my "Official Notice of Disagreement with the VA Claim Denial dated --/--/----. I request a DRO Personal Hearing."
DON'T LET YOUR CLAIM DIE!!!!!!!
