Roanoke VARO

[MarineSSgt]

I have filed an NOD (DRO review) after some my disabilities came back denied from the Roanoke VARO. Ebennies show that my NOD was received at Roanoke VARO on Feb 10, 2015 and the appeal has been pending since Feb 20, 2015. Right now my NOD DRO review is approaching 16 months with no movement at all! Does any nobody know how long its taking the Roanoke office to conduct and complete the DRO review? Is there anybody else currently having issues with the Roanoke VARO regarding NOD DRO review appeals?  I am debating on contacting the VA Undersecretary of Benefits but don't want to piss off the DRO who has my NOD file.

This is for anybody dealing with the Roanoke VARO for DRO review appeals. 

So I chatted with Peggy the other day she told me this about DRO review appeals: "Appeals are work in date order. The Average time for appeal is about 2 to 3 year."

So kick back relax and drink a few because it's going to be a long one if your dealing with Roanoke.
