Service Records
Good morning everyone, Received a letter from the VA stating that they had requested my medical records and if they had not received it by November 21 they would made a decision on my claims. They also stated that I could provide alternate proof and listed what I could provide, is the letter a type of form letter the VA uses? I gave the Va when I filed a copy of my medical record and dd214 and other requested docs. What happens if they can not find the originial medical records. I still have one copy left of my medical records should I give that to them, that would make two copies I have given them

Qtc Medical Worksheets
I'm in the process of completing the QTC medical worksheets for my 1010 General Medical Examination. A lot of it is very repetitive. But, I was wondering how much weight will the doctor place on these worksheets? Will the doctor use these worksheets as a guideline for the examination? Papa

Dr. Letter/nexus
I have reviewed many posts here and I am not sure as to exactly what I need. I have served 24yr and will be filing a disability claim (Back, Knees, and Mood). Do I need a letter/Nexus from my doctor’s since all of this happened during my service? There has not been a single injury but all stem from many Airborne Ops. Thanks Jim

C And P For Left Leg Radiculopathy
I have an exam in October for secondary left leg radiculopathy related to my service Connected DDD and Arthritis of the spine. Both of these are currently at zero with appeals in process. I very recently had spinal fusion surgery on the L5-S1 due to DDD. The numbness in my left foot and peripheral pain in my left thigh have not abated since the surgery. The numbness is always there and the pain comes and goes, although not as frequently. The L5-S1 disc was degenerated so badly that I had bone on bone contact. I am still in recovery mode, awaiting convalescence from the VA. I am wearing my hard brace for at least a couple more weeks and will shift to the sof…

C&p Exams
Does a phone number or website exist where one can find out if a C&P exam has been scheduled? If one exists, I want that site or number because I now have a phobia of not getting the notification by mail. I have confirmed that the VARO has my current mailing address for notification, but I would feel better with an alternate way to confirm C&P appointments.

ptsd Mh Claim Secondary To Knee Disability
Hey all, Went to a C@P for a claim of PTSD secondary to a 40% disability on my kness. The diagnosis is from two outside Doctors (pschycologist and a MH Cousellor) and is supported by the administration of a MPII2 as well as a PAI. When I went to my C+P the Pschyciatrist spoke to me for about 20 minutes. I handed her a evaluation from my civilian Pschycologist that he diagnosed severe PTSD. However she read the letter and stated "Your Doctor is wrong you have "Adjustment Disorder". I returned to my civilian Pschycologist and told him what she had diagnosed and he blew through the roof. He asked if she administered any tests and I replied no she talked to me about 20 min…
