ptsd Got My PTSD C&P Packet in the mail
I got my DSM5 PTSD C&P Instructions in the mail from the QTC Sat, for my C&P on the 23rd of Jan 2016 10 AM. They said for me to call the Dr's office and let them know I received the instruction pack and let them know date/time of my Exam...and it also says I do not need to bring any records /or evidence with me, the Dr will have everything he needs from the VA.. says the VA Sent this C&P Examiner everything he needs? Also says for me to fill out the travel voucher to get travel pay. Would it hurt anything if I did bring my records to the exam? everything I sent in, and maybe some VA Note's about what the VA MH notes says abou…

hypertension Either just had the worst or best C&P exam.. Still not sure!
Just got back from my C&P exam for Secondary GERD and Secondary Hypertension that lasted all of about 15 min with a NP at Hines. She seemed to be a little ruff around the edges at first, then we somehow go on the conversation of the oxygen generating plants in her office which seemed to perk her up. She only asked a few questions: For both - Was I diagnosed in service?, was I diagnosed at the VA?, do I still have symptoms?, only treated at VA?. For GERD only - Did I have a upper GI? That was it..... Never deep dived into symptoms, but did shake her head at the end and tell me that my pulse was consistently extremely high and that the doctors should have been prescribi…

ptsd C&P questions
Ok, so I got my C&P and I am pretty sure after reading a lot of your guys/gals responses that I had a favorable C&P, my question is it looks like the examiner places me at a 10%? Is he the person who decides? I've made a copy of it and it will be attached here to see what you guys think. I have read that at times the VA low balls their first rating, anybody else have experience with that? Thanks for your time!

Neede help with exam notes for Plantar and Bilateral Femoralpatello Pain syndrme
Can any of the C&P exam experts help me try to hone in on what they think my rating will be based on these notes? There is a ton of stuff that I disagree with, but I will take on that issue after I get my rating. Any help is greatly appreciated. Indicate method used to obtain medical information to complete this document: [ ] Review of available records (without in-person or video telehealth examination) using the Acceptable Clinical Evidence (ACE) process because the existing medical evidence provided sufficient information on which to prepare the DBQ and such an examination will likely provid…

ptsd VES Exam Notes
I had a VES doctor for my PTSD increase/TDIU evaluation. From what I've read, I can't view the doc's exam notes until a decision has been made. Is that true or is there a way I can request a copy of them from either the VARO or from my VAMC records once they are received? Thanks in advance!

Question about C&P.....Review of Evidence
I have 3 claims in. 2 new, and 1 increase. Last Friday, it went into Prep for Decision, then Saturday, went back to Review of Evidence. Talked to Peggy, and she said it was because new evidence was submitted, which it was. She also said that it looks like they may want another C&P, which is good, but she didn't say for sure if they would do one. My question is, do I call THEM and schedule a C&P, or do they have to contact me? It says on the website, "to schedule a C&P Exam, call 1-800-Peggy." ALso, if the increase goes through, do I get backpay from date of original rating, or date that I filed increase? And has anyone ever been rated for Persist…

C&P exam story/question
He takes his glasses off, looks at me and says "son, you're rated at 90%, you could have been rehabbing your knees for the past 4 years free of charge. Some of those DAV guys are good, but some of them are idiots" At this point, I was extremely frustrated and may have slipped out a few expletives at a louder than normal tone. He told me "son, talk to your primary physician about getting seen by a specialist and ask to get an MRI because you're knee looks somewhat okay, but I imagine an MRI might reveal something else that will explain the pain. Regardless of what happened, we'll take care of you, I know it's been a long journey, but hang in there and have faith. Al…
