Iris
My last C&P exam was 10 September 2009. Then I had a letter from Qu Te Ce asking me to go back for an Upper GI test. The test was 09 October 2009. I think that I shouldn't need anymore C&P exams, or anyother test ordered. If I ask on the status with an IRIS, will it delay the claim? "I don't want to loose my place in line"

Yesterday The Senate Passed S. 1963
Yesterday the Senate passed S. 1963, the "Caregiver and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2009", which would provide comprehensive new support to caregivers of severely disabled veterans and improve health care services for women veterans and all veterans who rely on the VA.

With your help, DAV was able to play an important role in getting S. 1963 through the Senate and we will continue working with Congress until this legislation is enacted into law.

New Claim
Since I have been awarded for Lumbar spine disk disease (DDD), bilateral limited motion of ankles (DJD). I have been diagnosed with bilateral arthritis of the hips (DJD). I have been looking for a link for this being secondary to my back DDD and bilateral ankle disability. I have searched on google but have not found anything that would show a link. Does anyone else have a similar medical condition and if so what reference was useful to you in order to prove this is linked for service connection? Thanks
