Please bear with me. I feel I need to elaborate. During my HLR in December of 2018(my representative did not involve me) the DRO ordered up new exams due to DTA error for migraines and GERD. I did not hear anything and after 3 inquiries with the 1000 peg line I finally heard about the lost claims in May of 2019 via phone message and received a denial 3 weeks later without the ordered exams. My representative told me that this would not help me at my BVA hearing I had in late March; however, I brought it to the VLJ attention when asked if there was anything else and VLJ was very enthusiastic about this.
Should I include the paperwork that the DRO ordered up exams in my new evidence?
did VA fail me by not administering the exams?
Perhaps I’m confused as to why my rep said not to bring this up.
On a positive note I found the doctor who treated me within a year of discharge and DX with migraines and he wrote a letter on the 20-10210 VA form stating he treated me since he’s now retired. VLJ said to do this since the records are destroyed after 10 years at that facility.
