Does this sound like a correct explanation of VBA hearing?

Below is a redacted piece of a VARO hearing I had. Does this sound like a correct description of a VBA hearing?

[Gastone]

It appears that you requested or agreed to a Last Minute  RO Review Hearing of your NOD'd issue/issues, to be held prior to your Appeal being Certified to the BVA for Docketing.

As long as the final result is the Award, both SC% and EED your seeking, proceeding to the BVA would be pointless. However, I certainly wouldn't waive the BVA Hearing until you have a signed copy of the Award in your hand.

Did your VSO-Rep accompany you to the Hearing? What do they have to say?

I agree with Gaststone  that looks like either a transcript of the hearing review or DRO Hearing. with you...with ''chairman''??

[Berta]

I found a past post you made indicating this is for TDIU? not sure

Do you get SSDI and if so is that solely for your service connected 80% disabilities?

Is VA aware of the SSDI award?

Were you ever turned down for VOC Rehab, solely due to the same disabilities?

Have you ever attached here any denial you got for TDIU that has triggered the DRO hearing?

More precise info always makes it easier to get a grip on your situation. How about posting a redacted copy of the Original Denial and the Notification Letter associated with this recent Hearing?

What was the date of your NOD Filing and what Appeal Route did you choose, RO Review, DRO Review, DRO Hearing or the Traditional BVA Hearing?

I'm sorry, when I looked through and read my transcript I thought it was pretty clear and straight forward. But apparently not. The Chairman in the transcript is the VA RO. Mr. Simms is the NCDVA - North Carolina Division of Veteran Affairs. They were my VSO at the time.

My point in posting this was to show that here is the NCDVA( my VSO ) telling me that a BVA hearing is the same thing as this hearing in front of a VA RO. And the VA RO does nothing to correct the NCDVA.

Well. I know that now but unfortunately this is from  back in 2000. I have been going through my C-File and reading and realized what they did to me back then.

I have never checked into VOC Rehab.

Not as of yet.

How about posting a redacted copy of the RO Decision from back in 2000.

Your VSO was a NC State Vet Rep, Ah Ha, ever think about switching your POA to One of the Reg National VSO's with an HQ at your RO such as VFW, DAV, Marine Corps League?

Have you filed any New Claims for SC or Increase?
