Claim bounced back to gathering evidence from preparation for decision

[saxman]

Hi all,  I just found out today that my pending claim went from preparation for decision to gathering of evidence.  I also see that the VA ordered another C&P exam. This time it's at a VA medical facility instead of QTC which is where my last C&P was.  Has this happen to anybody before and does it mean anything that I need to be concern about?

I was just wondering what is wrong with the first C&P exam?  The one who told me all my conditions were service related....    I just feel the VA want to get a C&P that's not in my favor...   any comments are welcome.

It has happened to me at least three times.  And twice for the same claim.

In one instance, I had a C&P for plantar warts.  Then I went back to gathering evidence and another C&P.  When I went to the second C&P they measured my scars (from the removed warts).  In the end I was SC'd for both plantar warts and scars.  I had the exact same thing happen with acne.  I claimed for acne, had the C&P, went to prep for decision then back to gathering evidence with another C&P, again measured scars and again, SC'd for both acne and scars.  Mind you, all four of these were rated at 0%.  Which is fine with me.  If I die from acne, plantar warts or scars my wife gets DIC.

My last claim had multiple contentions and it went from prep to gathering and I received one decision and two where referred.

So, anything can be happening, you almost always have to wait for the snail mail to get the straight skinny.

Hope I helped a bit,

Thanks Hamslice it did shine some light on the possibility that they may be looking at the measurement of my scars from acne too.  Yeah, i know I just have to wait to get that notice in the mail....
