Higher Level Review officer

Rate this question

Question

I have come up with the contact info of the Higher Level Review officer who reviewed my claim. The two issues in which the reviewer said I am to have new exams have been lost. I have exhausted 5 avenues over 4.5 months with NO help on the lost claims.

Is it appropriate to contact the HLR officer with regards to this? Before I contact my congressman I thought I might try this option.

Also thank you all for help. One of these days with my experiences I hope to help a little more on here.

My apologies for being vague.

I just got a certified copy of my  C file and everything is present in my records. My Health vet says RAMP claim is closed. Half my issues were denied (in which I received a letter stating reasons) 

Ebens says not SC for any of my issues. 

The other 2 issues (migraines and GERD) have a statement on form 21-6789  and the HLR officer states Duty to assist Error and states a new examination and medical opinion are required. 

An exam with MO for GERD is required. 

I just called the PEGGY to re open my complaint. This time I specified that they call and leave a message if I can't answer at that time. 

So were any issues granted or were all denied/remanded?  If so it sounds like you have some work to do to fix this.  You are missing some key evidence to get your horse to the starting line.  If you would like you can post it here and cover up your information for some help deciphering it.

The person I spoke with on PEGGY put in a request to reopen that part of my claim in which new exams were required. 

Do I need to scan the form that the DRO wrote up stating this about the exams for you guys?

My other 2 issues were flat out denied and I received a letter with regards to the denial. I have not received anything on the other 2. I attached a page with that info. There is no personal info on it and I whited out the DRO name.

So I did this for four weeks called in and got the same bull!  Buck told me to go to the va hospital and go see the c&p compensation officer. He was awesome and remembered me from the start of my claim. He sent in a real request. That afternoon I had I c&p set up for this Monday. Go see them.

So this looks like they need another c&p. Need to see the denied.
