Thanks Berta

I have a initial appeal in as of Aug. in St Petersburg Florida could you give me what on this report pertains to my appeal as such....also in Florida the appeals can be done either the old way or one can request a reviewing officer to sit down with...has anybody had in experience with this officer plus the time limit involved...they have saud the reviewing officer takes less time...

thanks again

Dont know if this helps you-

I will attach all Morning reports -all VAROs as of Dec 9th-

You need Excel spreadsheet to open it-

Also at Knight Ridder St Pete's BVA remand stats were 45.8% as of March 2005-

what a disgrace- 45.8 % of all claims at the BVA have to be sent back-

there is some more newer info at Knight Ridder-I havent had time to read it yet-

It does take less time to get a DRO Hearing at the St. Pete office than a trip to the BVA and a probable remand. I have been both routes. My DRO took about a year. My last BVA appeal took 2 years to get a decision at the BVA and ended up with a remand which included a new C&P. It took the VA a year to get me the C&P which was not worth a damn. I then just applied for TDIU and backed it up with a couple of private medical opinions.

On-River, you want to be sure that you get a Hearing and not just a review. You want to look the DRO in the eye. I took a VSO with me to present the case and my wife was there to give testimony and back me up.

Thanks .....even on the initial appeal? I was told that they would have it done in 6 months and a service officers said I neede to get a reviewing officer...so many opinions out there but since you have been both routes I will follow your advice....my service officer said I can request a reviewing officer which I assume will squash the first appeal I did in August.

THANKS FOR THE HELP
