[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does OPM allow these jobs to be classified as attorney positions to begin with? It’s claims reviewing. This work used to be done by paralegals. Did the work change, or did the agencies just decide they could hire faster using excepted attorney positions?[/quote] The work did not change. Even today, non-attorneys reviewers still review VA claims and make the initial decision as to whether to pay the claim. If a claimant is dissatisfied with the initial decision, he or she can appeal to BVA, where an attorney and judge will review it. The attorney reviewers at BVA perform the same work as the non-attorneys reviewers.[/quote]
