C&P Exams for Feet/Ankles/Toe and scars for appeal overturned!

[Navy4life]

So on Monday I had my C&P exams for my feet/ankles/toe and scars.  I think it went rather well and the doctor was thorough.  These C&P exams were ordered on September 8th, 2016 by the DRO in WACO after she over turned the other DRO's decision.  She ordered the C&P exams so I could get a proper rating on my contentions.  She over turned the DRO's decision due to his egregious errors in my decision that I brought to the attention of Mr. Robert McDonald's office and my local Congressman.  After getting the representative from McDonald's office to contact me and then to get the WACO office to contact me, I sit here today awaiting the decision I should have had years ago.  I am grateful the new DRO reviewed the decision that the previous DRO made and over turned it.  The DRO that made the egregious errors in my decision has apparently done this to other Veterans.  I hope they investigate this DRO.  I am thankful I did not have to go another 2-4 years to the BVA to appeal a decision due to the egregious errors by one DRO.  I am grateful the new DRO assigned saw the egregious error and reversed the decision at the RO level.

I did talk to the DRO on Wednesday and she said she received the scar C&P exam but not yet received the Foot/Ankle/Toe C&P exam.  She said it shouldn't be too long and then she can rate me.  I am so anxious right now!

That is what I read LOL

oh ok

Well if john NOD  then the VA will probably send you for a another C&P.

 Study up on this and take yourself copies of these Regs to your Exam and present them to the examiner...you might ask John if your allowed to do that?

I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A SHOT AT THE 40/30%

That's what this CnP was for. John got the new DRO that is handing my appeals to include this and get it all done at once!  I hope you are right!  I'm praying the DRO gets the other CnP this week from the doctor and rates me ????

**UPDATE to the UPDATE** the DRO has received all the CnP exams and has called to tell me she is working on my file now for rating my contentions and she will personally call me back with her determination!  I am so nervous right now!

I hope you get high scar ratings but from what I read anything more than 10% is hard to get...they measure the scars and then if you have them reviewed (in your C&P)maybe a higher rated would be warranted...but please don't be to up set if the rating is not what you expect.

Its hard to tell  if your scars are sore to the touch  the way the Regs read  the 30 % 40% but I think they need to be of a certain size & width   cross fingers for ya!
