If you have a VSO - check in to make sure they will be there.

DO NOT MISS THE HEARING. Leave out for it with plenty of

time to spare.

If a doc, especially VA doc, has provided you with anything like a tens unit, cane, wrist braces,etc . . .

be sure you are using it - especially at the hearing - not wanting to coach you here,

but they do notice and sometimes make note of those things,

Whatever the reasons for prior denial - have a copy/s with you

have copies of all evidence (in order) that rebuts the denial and, read them into the record

as it will be recorded - give a copy of them to the judge.

Ask for (or take) , and sign,submit a Waiver Of RO consideration.

When the hearing is nearing completion, ask the judge if they have any suggestions

of more evidence you would need to provide to sway the decision, into your favor.

Try not to complain about past wrongs (but do correct them at the hearing) or needing money.

Awesome advice. I have copies of all new medical records (MRI, CT Scans, doctor notes) supporting my claims. I will bring copies of all denials and have everything organized to the best of my ability. I'm a little nervous because I really want this to go well for me. I will stay focus on the task at hand and hope for the best results. DAV Rep and my wife will be there. Many Thanks

Good luck, you have gotten some awesome advice, use it and I think it will go in your favor. One thing that was not brought up wasDON'T LIE or stretch it out about anything, just state your claim and you be OK.
