ptsd C and P took 10-15 min, Is that bad?
I had a C and P exam 2 weeks ago for an increase in my PTSD rating. Im currently at 30% and when I did my C and P exam, the examiner asked my 3 questions and pretty much rushed me out of there. I feel like the exam should have taken longer than 10-15 minutes with the 36 pages of evidence fro my therapist. Does this sound bad, in that my claim will be denied. Thank you

GERD rating
I have read in several places that it is almost impossible to get more than 10% for GERD. Is this true? I am asking because I just had a C&P exam and I have several symptoms, but was told it probably isn't enough. Any ideas? My symptoms that were checked are: Persistently recurrent epigastric distress Pyrosis Reflux Regurgitation Sleep disturbance caused by esophageal reflux Frequency of symptom recurrence per year: 4 or more Average duration of episodes of symptoms: Less than 1 day

question on C&P result for hernia claim
Hello, first post here. I'm 30% since '98 for four unrelated 10% issues but am trying to service connect a recurring hernia issue I feel started AD.

After getting out the pain grew, bulge grew more towards inguinal area, and finally I saw a private…

Did I receive good advice for my initial C&P exam?
Hello all - Long time lurker & 1st time poster. First and foremost, thank you. Thank you for reading my post and providing insight to my question. Well, after many years I could no longer take the pain & suffering and at the behest of my wife and friends I decided to get off my duff and start the C&P process. So my question to you all who have traveled this road - did I receive good initial advice for an initial C&P exam at VES? The advice I was given from my local Vet Center adviser was to first & only conduct a C&P exam with issues/ailments that were/are documented from my active duty VA med file on record and not discuss al…

Temple VA Hospital Contract my Exams to LHI.
Anyone have experience with LHI as a provider. If the VA hospital contracted my exam out to LHI, will I be able to see my exam in the VA notes? I know when the VBA contracts them out you can't.

Not at least as likely as not
I understand that this means less than 50% probability, but is this term an automatic denial?

C&p For Lower Back - Insight From My Examination
Hi everyone, I had a C&P for my lower back yesterday and wanted to provide some insight for those who might have an upcoming C&P for a lower back issue. The examiner came out to meet in the waiting area, where it appeared he was monitored how I got up from my chair and how I walked to the exam room. Once we entered the exam room he looked at my file and asked the following questions: when did the injury first occur, last time I was seen for my back by the VA or outside clinician, and medications and procedures that I have had. He continued to read my chart and entered some things into the computer. While reading my chart he asked that I remove my shoes and sh…

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.
