I wanted to send out an update on my CUE claim. As I suspected from the process and response, I received a denial decision letter today. They denial almost verbatim regurgitated the same statements from the original denial in 1999. It's like the reviewer simply read the original denial, retyped it and said too bad without addressing the issue of probative values and presumption of sound condition. My question is for next step, should I go through the process of Higher Level Review to see what they say before going to the Board of Appeals to exhaust every option before hand. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

If you have an IMO I would go directly to the BVA. Your chances of a win there are better. Otherwise I would go with an HLR and see what falls out.
