Proof C&P Exams are often frauds
I lived I a VA hospital 6 months with failed pancreas surgeries.. yet they take the word of a screwy C&P examiner over the 6 months of VA records as an inpatient. The doctors and nurses write every move you make, every word you utter. 6 months of those records fill up those huge paper boxes used for zerox paper. You would think the VA would read those records. Instead they send you to some doctor who is only there to make you look bad at a C&P exam. Instead of a neutral doctor the ones they use for the C&P act like you are a fraud. They see you for a few minutes ask questions like a bad interrogation, trying to trip you up with statements. Those answers that a…

Highly Perturbed Of C&P Exams
Hi Everyone! This Is By Far Confusing To Me. How Does One Come Up With Less Than Likely...When The Evidence Is There? The Following Are Results From My C&P Examinations! Please Give Your Insights As To What You Think. Sorry For The Inconvenience, Had To Screenshot The Results. Thanks! So, Where I'm Very Confused Pertaining To Hysterectomy Is: I Gave The Examiner Multiple Documents Of My Uterine Fibroids, And She Had The Computer Screen Opened Where She Showed Me, Other Documents Of The Fibroids. But Yet, She Answered...Was The Veteran's VA Claim File Reviewed? She Said No! Also, The Rationale Portion Noted Fibroids Uterine/Recurrent Pelvic Cramps Were Docum…

C&P Exam Completed [Bad Vibe]
I had my exam done today for a request of an increase on my knees, shoulder, neck. The examiner evaluated my shoulder and I told her I have frequent flare ups that last for weeks at a time. Commonly, I roll out of bed with a frozen shoulder which relieves slightly along the day. On today's exam which was early in the morning, my shoulder just so happened to have a flare up. I was confident this was a good thing so the examiner could see how my shoulder was on most days. We did an exercise for a measurement placing my hand to my side and raising my arm vertically. Well, I wasn't able to raise it past my chest and stayed pretty much even to my waist line where I was in pain…

New Proposed VA Reg Vets Should Know About
Vets: I appears that the VA is proposing legislation that would require a Vet to first prove an incident occurred in service before a C & P Exam can be granted? I guess this would save the VA a pile of money from limiting CP exams and increasing the evidence standards. But, I can't help from thinking that trying to get the claims service connected would be much more difficult? I know that the American Legion, MOAA and the other Veterans Advocacy Groups are proving position papers today and there is congressional testimony starting today at 2:15 PM EST Today. From what I have seen so far during the testimony today, most don't support the change in the current legi…

Who knows, maybe congress will reject it? Rootbeer22

New guy...active duty...C&P question
I officially retire 1 June after 20 years active AF. I started this VA process back in Feb, and had my C&P's done in March at the Columbia MO VA and I thought they were great. My claims included lower back, wrists, shoulder, neck, anxiety, ED, acid reflux, fatigue, knees, hearing loss, ringing in ears, breathing, eye issue and I am sure that I am forgetting some. Anyway during my eye exam, my claim was for my left eye, I have lost pretty much all straight ahead vision in it throughout my career. After that exam they called me back, saying they found something in my right eye and I need to come back. What they found was lesions in my eye. Would I need to fil…

C&P Re-Exam - REPHRASED
Hello, newbie here. Prior USAF. Med boarded 6 years ago, which generated the original C&P (which was 5 years ago). The results of that were 50% SC depression with eating disorder NOS (one treatment stint while enlisted at an IOP level) and 20% SC shoulder (2 surgeries while enlisted) Anyway, they initiated a re-exam. I had two appointments (one for the depression/eating disorder and one for the shoulder). Originally they lumped the depression and eating disorder together. This time it appeared to be separate as she filled out forms on her laptop one at a time (we did eating disorder first and then depression second) and when I was delving …

BVA remand shoulder exam results
Hi, I am currently rated at 20% for my shoulder. I went in for a CP exam recently and these were the results. This is a remand exam from the BVA. Am I looking at a decrease to 10 or even zero? I am not bending my shoulder so it may dislocate for any of these people or any examination and I think it may have hurt me. If you could take a look I'd appreciate it. Thanks for your time!

C&P Before I receieved anything?
Hi everyone I am new here, and after reading some of these C&P stories I am pretty upset to say the least. I find myself here because I recently received a letter in the mail stating I had an appointment for a C&P, but the letter does not in any way say what it is for. I logged on to the EBenefits website because I check there once a week, and found my claim completion estimation had been pushed back by between 5-8 months with no information about why. So I went to check out my documents section I than went to generation my summary of benefits and it says my combined service-connected evaluation is 90% and it says my effective date was February 1st of 2016.…
