gunner1 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Just wanted to thank everyone on this site, I have been a long time reader and don't post much. As of yesterday my higher level review I submitted in July closed out. I went from 90% to 100% P/T, I have been back and fourth with the VA since 2016 on this issue. The best thing I have learned from everyone here is to get as much evidence as possible and to get Lay statements if possible, it pays off in the end. I was very optimistic if the higher level review works but it did for me. Don't let the VA get you down keep fighting for what is right.

Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted November 20, 2019 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 20, 2019 Congratulations! That is a huge win! You are indeed correct that evidence, including lay statements, makes a difference. How long did the entire HLR process take for you?

El Train Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Did they call you? Any follow up? C&P? Letters? I'm going through one now. Just started. I believe I have the evidence on my side. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letters? I'm going through one now. Just started. I believe I have the evidence on my side. Thanks. On the VBA-21-0958 form, section III, they ask if you would like to be contacted by telephone. If you checked that box and provided the details, they are supposed to call you. I included a screenshot of their call back policy (from the instructions on the same form): On my CUE sent in late Sep 2019, I used the HLR form and another form, but on the HLR form I opted to get a call. Still waiting to get a call, but I'm monitoring the status on va.gov and calling weekly to check on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
