0 Gastone Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 DRO Video Conference?? Only DRO "Conference" that I'm familiar with is the DRO requested, See M21 DRO Procedures, "Informal Evidence Discussion conference." I'm not aware that it's available as a Video discussion. Where does the Law Judge figure in??Semper fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted November 19, 2015 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 19, 2015 Video conference with a DRO seems a bit unusual. If you need to go over evidence in your c-file or show them documentation, it seems that it will not be possible.Unfortunately, Colvin violations happen too often. I'm actually glad that you are fighting back.

0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted November 19, 2015 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 19, 2015 I understand. I have heard of this being done for other veterans. I had an in-person DRO meeting and found it invaluable to be able to ask questions, get answers, and discuss documentation firsthand.

0 HadIt.com Elder Chuck75 Posted November 20, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 20, 2015 As far as I'm concerned, a video conference is not the equal of an in person hearing. It's a way to maintain a level of isolation and impersonality that suits the VA, often to the veteran's disadvantage. Vync 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gastone Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 This video conference is with a BVA Adjudicator "Member" in DC, not with a VARO DRO. Are there DRO's at the BVA level? 1st I've ever seen that referenced regarding the BVA.I should look up WTF a "Colvin Violation" is.Semper Fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
