C&P for Secondary Claim

[saxman]

I'm S/C for 8 of my major joins (Arthritis)  secondary to my S/C Sarcoidosis. I did'nt file a claim for my hips until now and my current records show arthritis in my hips also. My question is do they have to do a C&P exam also to S/C?  I have not heard anything about a c&p exam yet.   I got a call about a c&p exam for my TBI in about 5 days after submitting the claim and both conditions were on the same claim.

They don't need to give you a C and P. If its well documented in your medical records they will go off of that. My case I filed for over 10 things got 3 C and P exams. They flat out denied me on everything. Good luck to you!

Thanks rubberduck391!  Yeah the c&p I had for the 8 major joints that are now s/c said there are at least likely as not secondary to my Sarcoidosis.  So I'm hoping for a positive outcome since it's the same records for this condition.
