So it's been a long time since I've done claims and now that the VA no longer accepts a 21-4138 as sufficient to file a NOD, I see that the only option is "traditional" or "DRO review." I find this to be a convenient way to deny a face to face hearing, but wanted to ask if there is a way to request a DRO hearing. I prefer to, and have never lost a case when argued at DRO hearing.
