That is correct. If you agree with the fitness findings, you agree and request the rating reconsideration. You are allowed to request the DVA review once, either at the IPEB stage or after the FPEB hearing.
This is a very interesting issue and one that I don't think has been ironed out yet. I believe that the same process should attach to the DVA rating process in the Pilot Program as any other case. That is, the Board of Veterans Appeals should have jurisdiction over appeals of these original rating decisions.
