Speedy Evidence Review Good Or Bad?

[jlrith]

According to Ebenefits, my C&P exam results were received on 4/27 and my claim moved to preparation for decision on 4/29.

Since my C&P exam went well, with a knowledgeable (contracted) doctor who had obviously worked with the VA system before, I'm hoping this speedy review means the case was obvious and my claim was easy to decide.

Before I read too far into that, anyone else had this happen or have any thoughts on it?

I think it depends on how straight forward your claim is and how objectives the symptoms/physical evidence observed by the physician. Speculation, of course, but I could imagine that if your C&P was for something that required little research, you could bounce pretty quickly.

I had a claim for DMII. The C&P doctor took one look at my labs and said "You got it all right!" I had claimed PN in all four limbs and that did not go so fast, but it went pretty fast because at least one part of the claim was objective. You never know what the VA is thinking or doing with your claim until you get the decision in your hand.
