Ambushing By Doctor At C&p Exam!
I went to an exam and was treated badly, Ambushed! the VA is getting even worse in the way it treats vets when they go for C&P exams. I am extremely angry at the one I just had. I have had a few over the years. I am already very sick, and suffering terribly, but they are getting away with ambushing vets, plays physiological games and demanding answers they want! I would like to know if there is an organization that vets and write and contact to voice their concerns about horrible treatment at these exams. I am very angry, and what makes it worse I do not have the health to waste on anger. But, they need to be reined in, and the people who runt he VA fired and get some…

Increase Request
Hello, I am now very anxious about the phone call I received by the VA a few hours ago. They called to schedule some comp and pen for increase evaluation they called it. I am confused because I submitted an increase for my back issue only due to scoliosis that I am currently at 10% but only that. The VA personnel let me know that the increase exams were for all three of my disabilities. Should I be worried? Is this the VA's way of looking for a way to reduce my percentage. The lady on the phone kept referring to the exams comp and pen exams for increase. I really want to keep think positive but I am really failing to doing so. Any help or words of wisdom are great…

hypertension Compensation & Pension (C&p) Exams Aka Disability Worksheets
Many who come into this Forum often ask, "What is involved in my C&P?" Well, usually the person can call the number in the notice and ask what the C&P is to cover. Once known, the following could be of help. They are the worksheets showing what the examiner should be covering for that specific exam. I have also included at the bottom a couple of sites on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) that is not in the list, but might be of use to some. Here is the link so if the list ever gets outdated, you can access the link for the latest: http://www.vba.va.go...exams/index.htm Here is the list of the index (in link form) (with the addition of the MS note) to make it eas…

Greetings and Salutations, all! Long-time lurker, first time poster here. Just completed three of my C&P exams (PTSD, General Medical, Hearing/Tinnitus) and still waiting for the last one to be scheduled (filed for IBS/GWI claim, but thinking I might be closer to chronic diarrhea/sphincter impairment.

Very Short Notice
I got a call today from the temple va, saying I had a cp exam this friday, I wasnt mailed any prior notice. Had I not heard the message on the phone I would have surely missed this appt,. Its like the ROS hope you miss it so they can deny. 4 days notice, is not fair. and I think a mailed notice would have been more appropriate as well.

ptsd C&p Ptsd Increase Didn't Use Dbq Form
I had my increase appointment on Tuesday. When I met with the examiner at my VAMC in Loma Linda, CA, she almost made it feel like it was a therapy session. Asked alot of questions about why I think things have gotten worse and alot of questions about just life in general. I was under the impression that she would have followed more of a structured interview based on the DBQ form. She just seemed to take written notes on a 2 page printout of my records (I assume). I don't have the exam yet, it's not on myhealth site yet but I will update this post once I do get it. Most likely not until next Monday, Friday at the earliest. She said things like "it seems like thing…
