Why another C&P?
Filed appeal 12/2019 using lawyer. Finally in front of judge 07/2023. Remanded to RO to do a C&P(was requested when filed appeal but denied by VA) . C&P done by VES Sept 2023 and mid-Sept 2023 went to decision phase. Assigned to St Petersburg RO from National Work Queue early last week. On 12th a request was put in by whoever has the case for ANOTHER C&P. This time with QTC. Why would another C&P be need so soon after last one? Fishing for someone to disagree with doctors who have been treating me since 2010 and the doc from last C&P so they can deny? What reason would they have? DBQ was well put together, all questions answered with good d…

PROSTATE & BLADDER CANCER
I had my prostate removed in 2019 but I guess not soon enough. I have been getting PSA tests every six months since. Each test shows the antigens slowing increasing. A community doctor has been treating me since 2019. In 2021 I started urinating frank blood. It was determined I had a bladder tumor that had broken off of the bladder wall. Same doctor now treating me for both prostate and bladder cancer. I have had a cystoscopy done every 3-4 months since. I am now scheduled for my 7th bladder surgery in the last 3 years. The same day I was told about the most recent bladder tumor. I returned home to be told I will be scheduled for another C&P. This I think is my …

Secondary C&P exam but not required to be present?
Does anyone know why they might do this? My husband just retired in Sept after 20 and completed his C&P exams in person at Chalmers a month or so ago. He got email and paper mail notification of a second C&P exam request via QTC. It states he does not need to be travel to the appointment, looks like they’re having a second person review his files without him present. Anyone know why they would do that? Are they trying to get a less favorable opinion?

This may be a little long so please bare with me. Background info: In Army from 1998-2001.

C&P Exams
I had a C & P Exam Dec 2023 for my back, knees, debilities and nerve damage. I felt the exam went well and nurse practitioner seem very knowledgeable. I am now going to get a second C & P for my pinch nerve and nerve damage? The only reason I can see is that the VA may be considering disability and just needs to know what percentage my nerve damage is so the can properly rate it? Has anyone else had this happen to then and how did it come out?

Asthma C&P Exam this week and I am a train wreck.
I’m at 10% for Rhinitis currently. Last month I file for Asthma. When I gotten back from a Middle East deployment. I was having breathing issues on occasions when I’d run. My doctor just said it was occasional asthma and bronchitis and prescribed me an albuterol rescue inhaled. This was in 2012. Whenever I'd get sick I would usually get an inhaler from urgent care. Early last year my sleep Doctor / Pulmonologist prescribed me Arnuity daily but add to his notes “no formal asthma diagnosis “ so I’ve never had a PFT, a formal diagnosis of asthma except from a doctor over 12 years ago that’s dead and gone. My asthma comes out with heavy aerobic exercise, especially in cold…
