0 Mr cue Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 You are right u can close the post I made the point I just wanted veterans to understand there are ways to win a claim or appeal without a imo. Find the law that address your issue and look up bva decision that are like your condition. Follow the blue print if the bva decision. Look up the law the bva use in the decision. This is the other way you win claims and appeals I am done with it. Link to comment
0 El Train Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 100% P&T SMC-S in a year and a half. Couldn't have done it without IMO's. So yeah, enough said. I'm not stuck in the never ending appeal wheel or an extended battle with the VA. You do it whatever way you want. I did it my way. A year and a half and done. I don't play around. I play to win. 63Charlie, RMF and broncovet 3 Link to comment
0 63Charlie Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) I have paid lawyers to win appeals. I have paid doctors for independent medical examinations necessary to refute the inadequate C&P exams the VA has provided. It has been strictly a pay-to-play experience all the way acquiring my benefits. I don't plan to spend the rest of my life going in circles with the VA so I had to ante up. I'm all in to win. The VA could have done this the easy way as I had all three Caluza elements at the start, but instead the VA chose to hamstring me hoping I'd lose and quit.

0 McRay Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Every claim I have had seems to have required a lawyer to win. IMO the VA will use any excuse to deny an appeal. The first claim I filed was turned down, then after I retained an atty was somehow 'reopened' and my claim was granted after a few years. Of course they lowballed me on % and effective date. Same denial on a medical reimbursement claim, but after atty submitted a legal brief, claim was granted at BVA. My opinion is that in some RO's the rule is to deny and force the claimant to appeal. Others may disagree, but in my experience that is what happens. At this point I prefer 70% of something compared to 0% of a denial. That said, I didn't always feel this way and at one point thought my VSO was adequate -- then he recommended me to an atty -- saying he didn't have the time or resources to get missing records and IMOs.

The only person who can ban someone is me. No one has threatened to ban you. It is not illegal to advise people to not show up at their compensation and pension exam but it is not advisable. as this
Tbird
It’s not a hadit thing it’s what the membership is saying , but I agree with you I never needed an IMO for any of my decisions and most of the vets I know didn’t either. in past years on occasion
