I apologize for starting a new topic on this, I'm fairly certain I started a topic on the NOD for tdiu that I have pending but couldn't remember which forum I posted it in or the title. I have a NOD that's at 450 days currently (average for completion at my RO is 291), long story short is I did request a DRO HEARING, and I submitted new and material evidence in the form of a Voc Rehab letter finding me to be permanently unemployable. I received a call today from my VARO, from a supervisor letting me know a decision had been reached and I would receive it in the mail within a couple of weeks. I asked him if I needed to come in for a hearing and he stated, oh, no. My question is, since I did request the hearing and I did submit new and material evidence, is it reasonable to expect a grant on the tdiu, since they did not schedule me for a hearing. I know nothing is ever certain, I did have overwhelming evidence but I was not sure if they must schedule you for a DRO hearing if they are going to deny, (as long as you have submitted new and material evidence), or if them making the decision without scheduling the hearing is possible good news. I thank everyone in advance for any insight
