Question
63Charlie
In the middle of a C&P exam for scars, the examiner didn't take any measurements.
He sent a woman in after he left, to take photos of my scars.
I asked this person," Why didn't the examiner measure my scars?", as this was necessary to get a fair decision/rating.
She left and in a short time the examiner returned.
I asked him the same question.
He measured one scar on the back of my neck and none of the others.
I even specifically pointed out the ones I wanted him to measure.
He said that the rating officer will see the scars from my photos and that is mostly how they make their decision.
That isn't the rules on scar evaluation.
This guy was a P.A.
It was a bad omen when one of the first questions the examiner asked was," What is your current disability rating?"
That made me feel like he was going to do all he could to make sure I would never reach 70% disability.
At the end of the exam he stated he was a veteran too.
When his assistant returned once again to take the photos, she began to tell me how my examiner was a really good guy and was serving in the Reserves currently.
Took all I could do to bite my tongue and hold back and tell her how he did a hatchet job on my claims.
Finally.... forgot to mention..he checked my ankles range of motion without using a goniometer, or any form of test instrument.
Then he proceeded to inform me that I needed to get a medical diagnosis of my ankle condition.
I told him that I have an orthopedic appointment scheduled for my ankles the following week.
MY QUESTION IS: Will I have to wait and NOD/appeal the bad exam AFTER a decision has been made? Or is there an alternative such as writing a complaint and/or request a new exam before I get a rating?

Check to see what he put in your C&P report, it should be in the EVet Bluebutton report. If the guy was doing you any favors, you would find it there, if not, you will find it there.

you need to wait for a decision well actually you have to before you can file NOD. Was this was a C&P at the VA? I'd go see the C&P Director...take the CFR Reg's with you (fou

QTC is a waste of time. Due to Present Value of cash, Vet's should be able to sue QTC for incompetent and biased reporting on the federal records of a Vet. If they do provide a competent educated test
