Question
harry59
Greetings fellow vets,
I'm getting ready to submit my "intermediate-step" secondary claims, that the VA has denied, to a Higher Level Review (HLR). Does anyone know if the senior claims raters at a HLR will consider an "intermediate-step" link in their decision? Or will they just deny the claim when they can't directly link it to service, like the initial claims raters do? I know the BVA will, and does, recognize the "intermediate-step" in secondary claims, but I can't seem to find any answers on the internet whether or not the HLR raters do. I'm just wondering if I'm spinning my wheels, or not. Hopefully someone has first-hand knowledge of this.
Thank you for all replies.
