11cvolley Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 So my appeal has been with a DRO for over 6 months and nearly a year and my lawyer hasn't gotten anything from the VA other than accepted as my lawyer.

0 11cvolley Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 I been hearing this a lot, but it doesn't make any sense to me. This whole idea of the veteran working his/her own claim. Even if I was able to do that, wouldn't that suggest the veteran can work? Can't a rater just look at your case and say, 'this guy filed his own claim, referenced these VA laws, and is on top of his case. So he can't be 100% or IU," rater denies increase.

0 K9MAL Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The VA does this because of the mentality of Veterans not wanting to rock the boat. Not bitting the hand that feeds you. I say the hell with that mentality. Bite the hand and eat the rest. This process is ALL adversarial. If it wasn't there would be no need to go up the chain and reach the Supreme Court. Counting on people who have coffee with the very people your fighting is just not smart. I couldn't agree with you more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read your fee agreement. If a VA lawyer doesn't win your claim, he doesn't get paid. Do not confuse copying fees, filing fees at the CAVC, IMO/IME fees or $120 worth of postage needed to file a huge w
