Question
Theblaze
Hi all. I've recently retired from the Air Force and have had my initial C&P. I got a copy of the C&P notes today. I'm concerned about some obvious errors that are listed as well as some ( I believe) incorrect diagnoses.
I'll post some questions that I have for specific conditions separately, so as to not dilute the overriding question that I have.
Question:
Can I, or should I, send a letter to the VA correcting errors regarding what I told the C&P doctor verses what is in the C&P notes? Should I refer to my SMRs to show where the doctors C&P notes regarding my history are inconsistent with my SMRs? Should I pronto obtain Independent Medical Opinion on areas where I believe the C&P docs are proffering a wrong diagnosis on my conditions prior to the DECISION?
I know that I have the NOD avenue available.
But I've always felt that heading trouble off at the pass was the best way to handle stuff.
So, should I get a quick note off to the RO prior to the DECISION?
All advice welcome, thanks!
Blaze
