DONT DO DRO IF VSO ASKS

[paulcolrain]

SO MIAN POINT WAS ,,, DO NOT DO A DRO REVIEW IF YOUR SERVICE VET REP SAYS GO FOR APPEAL.  THIS IS REAL BIG.... THIS MEANS IM SAYING TO ALL VETS TO SKATE  OUT OF THE DRO REVIEW ... NOW,,, IF SOMEONE TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN WIN WITH THE DRO THEN OK BUT,,,, YOU ARE ONLY SMART TO TO SIGN THE I9 PUSHING IT TO BOARD OF VETERANS APPEALS., REASON IS,,,, ONCE YOU DO THAT THE RO WILL SAY OH xxxx,,,, THEN THEY WILL PUSH FOR ALL OF TYPES OF HEARINGS BUT AT SAME TIME KEEP YOUR PLACE ON DOCKET. SO,, SAY F-U TO DRO REVIEW THEN FILE YOUR FORM 9 AND LET THE RO DEAL WITH YOU AS YOU ASK FOR A PRINT OUT OF YOUR SUBSTANTIATED APPEAL. THIS WORKS FOLKS.. THATS WHY IM SAYING IT... THE ABSOLUTE MAIN POINT FOR BEGINERS IS THAT YOU REALLY WANT YOUR DOCKET NUMBER NOT YOUR DRO REVIEW. IM JUST TRYING TO HELP.!

I requested a review in July 2015, and had my review on 12 January, 2017.

That should put me at about 5 months away, give or take. Thank you

i am bowing out of this thread. Again, I may have accidentally hijacked another vets quest? If so, please excuse us ignorant internet navigators. Sorry Brother.  Good Luck!

so i started this because i was trying to show that if you go for a DRO review you miss the Date for a BVA hearing Docet Number. now of course if you get a good response from the DRO review than cool but if not your 2 years behind the 8 ball now as i see it. IM DOING THE MATH AND,,,  if you req in 2015 got in 2017 and still wondering... lets say you didnt do DRO. so in 2015 you would have requested a BVA hearing with all the same evidence. now we are in 2017 so you would be only like 1 year away from an adjudication or remand. now that being said,, if you dont like the dro hearing answer you still have to get i9 certified by BVA as the date you sign it after your DRO hearing so you will have an additional 4 years to wait. all need to remember.. just because you appeal that does NOT MEAN YOUR APPEAL DATE WITH THE BVA IS YOUR DOCKET DATE. YOUR DOCKET DATE IS THE DATE AFTER YOU CERTIFY YOUR I9/ SO YOU COULD APPEAL AT THE RO FOR 10 YEARS BUT WHEN YOU BRING IT TO THE BVA YOU ARE BRAND NEW.

Buck,

I'm a true testament of the DRO route.

They love it when the veteran comes in "locked and loaded" with records, medical records, C&P exams, past decision notices. And law cases that pertain to the case.

I took your advice and won my cases-CUE and IU on the spot!

2-2-0 HUAH!

Paul.

thats all way over my head. I was told a DRO could do the same as the BVA, but much sooner. It's like when you first file.  A VSO may not even submit your claim like the St Louis DAV office did me, and DAV seems to order what benefits you receive. The VA may issue the benefit, but DAV seems to control what the VA issues.

Back to the point, a lawyer will hav much more interest and work much harder for you to get the Maximum benefit you are entitled to, THE FIRST TIME, where VSOs get all their money when they sign you up, and forget you exist after that. Then it takes a couple years to get you  a little increase, then you hire an attorney. Now you have years wasted and are just now hiring someone that actually knows the rules.

I don't have any faith in the BVA, or myself to know how badly the VA screwed me, I just know they gave been doing it intentionally for 46 years, and an attorney can probably prove it. I should have hired one in the beginning, but I believed in the system, and could not believe anyone in their right mind couldn't see the obvious, but then again, I didn't understand how the gov. works. I'm learning. Thanks for explaining though.

THINK OF THIS ONE....

IF THE BOARD OF VETERANS APPEALS TELLS THE REGIONAL OFFICE THAT THEY MADE A MISTAKE THEN THE APPEALS TEM WITHIN THE REGIONAL OFFICE GETS BUT HURT BECAUSE THERE SUCCESS RATE GOES DOWN AND THEY DONT GET A BONUS! SO LETS PUT IT THE OTHER WAY. DRO INSIDE THE REGIONAL OFFICE IS IN FACT ALLIGNED WITH THE RO SO IF THEY STATE THEY ARE WRONG THEY ARE TAKING BONUSES AWAY FROM THERE OWN PEOPLE THE PROBABLY DRIVE SHARE WITH.

People are blinded by money and convince themselves that this next guy is going to be fair so they'll get it faster-

Totally illogical, as no one from that office has been fair, yet- But somehow they're going to just like me. And they're going to go against their friend, cube-mate or lover?

I guess casinos are full for a reason.

Your first post was clear- it's just the wishful thinkers wanting it to be wrong.
