C & P Gone Wrong
Hello Everyone, I have a question, I recently had another C&P for an increase of my SC Bipolar disorder which has been SC since 2005.

The question is will this take away my SC Biploar which is currently rated @ 30%. Also I requsested another C&P exam. Dr. stated that my service treatment records were not a…

Urinary Stress Incontinence (What Constitutes An Appliance)
I am waiting for a C&P eval for my urinary stress incontinence. My urogynecologist provide me with a IME, stating that I have stress incontinence associated with childbirth while on active duty. I have also been fitted with a pessary ring to help with the incontinence. Is a pessary ring considered an appliance? If so, I should get a 60% rating.

Increase In Va Rating
I am a 20 year retired vet and receive retired pay. I was also rated by VA at 50% in 2006. Today I received a letter stating I am now at 80% based on a re-evaluation I started July 2013. So my question is: will my retired pay stay the same and my VA compensation increase? This is a very confusing document.

Ptst C&p Exam --
I have PTSD and diagnosed as bi-polar too. Personally, I think the bi-polar is not correct but, hey, I'm not a doctor. I missed my C&P exam in Houston TX in Oct 2011 (I moved back to Florida in August 2011 and did not get the notice). ANyway, I got notice in Dec 2011 that my claim for PTSD had been denied because I missed the exam. I went to my county VA office and the "&D&&" filed to wrong request -- he filed an appeal instead of requesting my case be reopened and requesting a new C&P date. Fast forward 3 years and here I am. I had my C&P exam this last Wednesday and personally don't know how it went. The doc was very straight laced with no…

ptsd C&p Ptsd Error
I filed a statement on ebenefits stating to the rater that the PTSD C&P was not correct with the DRs Statements. The DR stated that I was in a helicopter crash and the pilot had his eye slashed and he hurt his arm. I stated that this was not true. First I told them that the helicopter lost power with the red lights and emergency alarms going off. The pilots managed to get the engines restarted so we did not crash. Then the DR stated that my fire patient was burned severely. That also I did not state. The patient had some first and second degree burns with smoke inhalation. So I submitted this information. The VA has not asked me for support for these stressors yet bu…
