ptsd NOD-did vso do the right thing?

[allan1351]

On Jan 5,2016 I went to my vso to findout what was happening with my claim....after checking she told me my claim for IU was denied,also increase for ptsd denied....she told me they were denied in a decision on Dec 10,2015....I told her I never got anything in the mail....Also told her I had the last review exam and it shows I should be 70% from 50%....also that I had filed the letter from voc rehab....she checked and agreed I should of went to 70%...also said the voc rehab letter is there but they didn't include it in my denial...So she filed NOD on the ptsd for increase to 70% and said she filed under fast track......when she filed I noticed she put in there that they didn't include the letter from voc rehab.I'm just wondering if she did the right thing here............Please let me know.....she also ask for SOC......thanks Allan

Allen;

I would file the NOD and specifically ask in the NOD that you want a DRO review hearing.  For the PTSD put what you think you should be, 70% and then briefly explain why.  Unless you request the hearing, the DRO can review w/o you ever being present.

Secondly, I would file the paperwork to revoke your POA with your current VSO.  This VSO did not do you justices.

Good luck!
