So after reading my decision letter again, I came upon the back of VA Form 4107
It states.....
"GIVING VA ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE"
"You can send us more evidence to support a claim whether or not you choose to appeal"
"NOTE: Please direct all new evidence to the address included on our decision notice letter.
You should not send evidence directly to the Board at this time.
You should only send evidence to the Board if you decide to complete an appeal and, then,
you should only send evidence to the Board after you receive written notice from the Board
that they received you appeal".
"If you have more evidence to support a claim, it is in your best interest to give us that evidence as soon as you can.
We will consider your evidence and let you know wether it changes our decision............"
So has anyone went this way instead of filing for a NOD?
If so please share your experience.....
I have new evidence to turn in, and I want to know what is the best way possible to do that (and keep the original claim date)
