ptsd C&p Examination

[tanker31]

I have been helping a buddy of mine with his claim for service connected comp. WE asked for the following: PTSD, Hearing loss, tinnitus, and exposure to agent orange. He has had his C&P examination for PTSD ( went very well and in the examination report it definately says he has PTSD--service connected for actions in the NAm). He is now scheduled in April for AUDIO C&P, and an hour later is scheduled for ( this is the confusing part ) " COMP-GEN MED- (name of doctor )-VAOPC Clinic". Does any body have an idea why he would be seeing " GEN MED " on a C&P examination?

One other question: Has anybody herd of Agent Orange being responsible for BLOOD CLOTS. My buddy has recently developed numerous blood clots, of which the VA has been treating him.

Input please.

Thanks to all.

Gen Med is just a basic physical no big deal they just do an overall assessment.

The general medical exam should be an AO exam and should be the most complete exam he's ever received.

Blood clots in and of themselves are not presumptive for AO. If he has DMII maybe there might be some relationship since DMII and heart disease are related.
