Dro Decision

[jfrei]

So I guess the new claim that was opened as CUE TBI was the response to the new material evidence Dec. 29, 2014 and is the decision is getting ready to be mailed. I know the DRO has allot of say what happens so I am wondering does he or she have the power to reopen the claim hold off for making a decision, and then at the hearing make a decision on the claim itself? I've never heard of anything like this but at the same time I have never seen a car recall involved appeal decision either. My hearing is in August and the decision to the new evidence is on its way. So nervous of the unknowing.

DRO Hearings are usually good but they can go both ways.

good probative evidence wins claims.

take any more evidence you have to your hearing incase the DRO don't have it and present it at your hearing. all they go by is what's in your records and remember the VA tends to lose records.

just relax and things will go ok for ya.

The DRO is involved because of the receipt of "New & Material Evidence" triggering the VA Regulation requiring a Review of Denial by a Sr Rater or actual DRO, giving "Deference to original rater's Decision."

You are not getting a Traditional NOD, DRO Review or Hearing, where the original raters decision is not taken "given Deference" into consideration.

Sorry, finger problem.

If this Review go in your favor, the DRO can Award your claim and determine Retro Dates the same day, all good. On the other hand, he can continue your Denial and you will receive a SSOC. If that were to happen, you would at least know what you needed to do or provide Medical Evidence wise, from the SSOC.

Sooooooooo, sit back and relax. Set up your Direct Deposit account to Text/E-mail you regarding ALL transactions. You should get the Retro Deposit about 3 weeks before you receive the Big Brown Award/Denial envelope.

I have a NOD to the DRO for an EED for PTSD , Information used to deny SC for PTSD was used 12 years later with C&P exam to grant 100 % for PTSD. Should I wait for DRO to deside or get a lawyer soon . thanks.
