Higher level review

[Joey Ross]

called today, and was told they have requesting  my service records, and that was the only thing that they where waiting on. Any insight?

Well, no.  Higher level review does not permit "new evidence", and I would suppose that would mean your service records, had they not been there before.  

Mostly, I dont recommend HLR "except in speical circumstances" when you have internet real time access to your VBMS file and you can check to make sure no new evidence is needed.

Instead, I most often recommend going to the BVA.

All I know is that they found 3 DTA errors and I had a new C&P on the 7th of August. I was told today that they where waiting on my service records, before moving to next stage
