I had 2 good IME's and IMO. They fooled the VA format needed to have all the right VA language and proved a Nexus. I would talk to an Attorney and your DR.

Good Luck,

Hugh

HMC: I never got a by the book IOM or DBQ from my non-Va MD Neurologist Sleep Specialist for SC of my SA to CAD. He never reviewed my C-File but he did make the original DX of MSA. His statement that the SA was caused by 2 yr prior DX of CAD was all it took to get secondary SC Award. This statement was in my Non VA Medical record, which I forwarded as Evidence. This was back in 2010.

Jump ahead to mid 2014. Got 2 SC Awards from (2) recently file FDCs. C&P VA DR actually completed a NEW DBQ for me while at the C&P after discussing my error regarding which of my SC conditions was actually more likely than not causing my Claimed DX'd secondary issue. He did put the DBQ and a statement regarding my asking him to complete the DBQ in his clinician notes for the C&P. I guess it all comes down to finding a sympathetic Dr, preferably a Specialist.

Merry Christmas

There is a saying that if some is good, more is not necessarily better.

I think that may be the case with multiple IMO/IME's.

Usually one is expensive enough to be cost prohibitave. However, 2 could be better than one in an example I will post below, but more than 2 is likely redundandt and could hurt more than it helps.

Example: Your VA doc says your knee problem is "probably not" related to service even if you were a paratrooper. You know that is hogwash, because you had no knee problems before service and injured your knees jumping..but you were one of those guys who sucked it up and did not complain.

So, you get an IMO to refute this doc. If your VA doc reviewed your records, then you may need 2 IMO's to refute it, but not more than 2.

Always make sure the doctor makes a diagnosis and states residuals related to the diagnosis.

A medical opinion is only half good if it don't include residuals related to the sickness or injury.

RESIDUALS................
