Do Higher Level Reviews Work?

[@rawar2132]

My HLR definitely helped me with my claim. My HLR reversed all my claims that got denied. It's an excellent way to help❤

[@knightfall209]

How long did it take for decision?

[@kevintrotter2025]

My HLR worked for me. I got approved for tdiu in November 2023 after being denied in January 2023. 100 p&t

[@TheRealSlowhand]

I always want an in person hearing for any denial, and I have never lost a case in a hearing...

[@dbest4755]

Thanks for all u do for Veterans, Happy New Year 2023

[@ipporamen4183]

Can a vet do an hlr after a supplemental if it goes bad?

[@robertdelao9201]

I received a message from the VA. HLR is correcting a error for pes panus and other foot conditions. Please advise the meaning of HLR. Thank you Robert.

[@DHOOPDOG]

I did a hlr and the hlr said the Va is correcting an error letter in March/2023. I’m still waiting. Is there a time limit?

[@jamesmanuel9938]

Me too, Mine was filed around July 2023, still waiting. Lawyer spelled everything out too. Still takes to much time.

[@mebrown1609]

i files mines in march 2023, duty to assist error identified june 2023, new c&p examine in august 2023, and no movement since.

[@jamesmanuel9938]

Not yet. Mine just sets. It has been at least 8 mths.

[@imveryhungry112]

It's just amazing how long hlrs take. It's been a year for me no decision. It's baffling why it would take this long.

[@phillipwestmoreland642]

I am 50 to 100% at this time but I have other questions about how to get compassion for other issues

[@rdking8001]

Wow ok so I thought I was going to file a higher level review with new and more evidence like buddy letters and medical imaging plus doctors notes not in appeal ? So if I can’t ad evidence and I already filed a review what is my options to ad evidence and re submit?

[@TranceCore3]

do a supplemental claim. higher level reviews only look at evidence the VA already has. You can file for an increase that way.

[@chino2037]

Can you do a video on what a procedural or regulatory review of a VA claim is?

[@wheel1775]

I had an informal conference just a few days ago. The guy I spoke with seemed to be really helpful and friendly. He said all the right things but he seemed rushed. I barely had enough time to explain my side. He said it would take about a week to make a decision. My claim is for a pretty obvious injury on duty. I felt like I submitted all the required paperwork and evidence. But we’ll see.

[@Bigdawgrazorback1]

Any good news to report?

[@MH-il1lk]

Although there is no new evidence allowed for a Higher Level Review, my HLR is due to an examiner lowering my rating from 70% to 50% that also affected my TDIU claim that was part of the C&P exam. Now, I'm at 90% of the same conditions that were originally lowered (I hope that makes sense). You know if the VA will take into consideration these last two C&P exams that were raised from the lower rating that are the same my HLR pertains to? Meaning, although the one examiner lowered my rating, stating I "improved" only to see two examiners afterward (two different C&P examins) that acknowledged with evidence my conditions are worse?

[@christopherwhitley9923]

When you appealed did they give you new C&P exams? I had a similar thing happen to my most recent claim. They tried to say my condition improved. I also applied for I.U.

[@ixsmaelable]

Can you submit your points in a statement ( no new evidence) and upload it?

[@kennrollin]

I put mine in January, my claim says VA is correcting an error "2 compensation issues" any advice on what happens next?

[@michellej.462]

Any update of what happened?

[@thomashughes1223]

About how long after your informal conference can you expect some sort of decision? It’s been weeks for me.

[@zackiinu7194]

You must have received an HLR decision by now. How long did it take, and was it a good outcome? I hope you got what you deserve 👍

[@kenthompson5218]

all my hlrs have been denied now going to a judge

[@RonnieCripe-pw2gz]

Does anyone believe the V.A. cares?

[@tyrelsimpson152]

No
