Well, it doesn’t sound like they are going to reissue those decisions. At least the OIG is not recommending it.

it also doesn’t sound like all of the P&T decisions were wrong but the issue is that the rater didn’t cite enough evidence in the rating.

"while the manual allows them to establish P&T status without using this standard"

"decision makers did not always explain the reasons why they established P&T status in the rating decisions as required"

Regulations written by lawyers, so you have to use a lawyer to win.  The two sentences do not compliment each other.  The first sentence says I can use whatever or nothing to establish P&T, while the second sentence says I have to explain why I did what I did.  Technically, I could say I flipped a coin and awarded P&T, and that would fit both sentences.

There just trying to make it that much harder for veterans to get their due benefits  as if they aren't hard enough already.
