C&p Lasted 15 Minutes Rochester Ny
I posted my 1st topic yesterday about having my C&P today and wanted to start a new thread just because of the way it went. I had my "exam" done at the Rochester NY clinic which is affiliated with the Buffalo NY VA office. My examiner.... I have no clue what she was, doc, nurse, who knows... was a very nice maybe 30 y/o who I think was named Beth. She walked me back to the room, never asking how I was and introduced another mid 20's female who would be observing. Can't remember her name. She literally read off of a check off sheet asking about my knee and low back problems. I answered truthfully and maybe 2 or 3 times I elaborated on the question just because …

Betrayed & Others
This may have been posted before - but I do not remember seeing it. This comes from M21-1MR and I feel it could affect many claims that are on appeal. It may not seem so important to others but it sure gave my brain a little slap. I have never paid attention to the NOTE they have at the bottom - I enlarged it so it would really stand out. Please give opinions on this specific note dealing with formal hearings, informal confrences and statements contained in the transcripts that qualify as a NOD. Hope this helps many vets. carlie From M21-1MR -- PART 1 -- Chapter 5 Section B. Notice of Disagreement (NOD) a. Definition: Notice of Disagreemen…

Deferred And Confused
I recently received a temporary rating of 100% as a result of surgery related to a service connected decision. Prior to this I had claims pending for depression and anxiety secondary to a service connected back condition and sinusitus. The same letter told me these were deferred but did not state for how long or why. The letter I recieved was from the DAV so it is not the official VA letter. Anyone have ideas as to what is going ob or what I can do?

Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
