What To Include In Nod

[toddt]

I am ready to file VA Form 21-0958, FEB 2013 Standard NOD. I have read that you should not present your arguments when filing a NOD. Is this true? If so, what should be put in Box 15 A. "Specific Issue of Disagreement"? In Box C. "Percentage (%) of Evaluation Sought" I put: In accordance with: 38 C.F.R. § 4.97, Diagnostic Code xxxx . Would you agree that that would be better than giving an exact percentage?

GP I couldn't get the link to open?

toddt, just keep it simple

I respectfully disagree with this decision and request informal DRO Hearing at my Regional Office.

Thank you in Advacne

Then at your hearing present all your evidence above & any N&M evidence you can usually favorable IME/ IMO medical evidence from a specialist or MD in the field of your disability's.

I have an IME from a specialist in the field but was unsure if I should send it in with my NOD. So, I will save it until I receive a SOC from the RO. Appreciate the help.

If they denied on medical evidence?

DRO Hearing is the best way to go! as long as you can present good medical evidence that challenge there decision you will win.

you can sit with a DRO and tell him/her of your disability and how it effects your life.

if you don't and appeal to the BVA your probably in for a long wait.

Anything you can resolve at the RO is always good!
