Copy Of C&p At Va Hospital In Alexandria, La
I'm scheduled for my C & P next week. I would like a copy of the exam and would also like a copy of my file from the RO. What is the procedure for this? Do I just ask at the C & P for a copy or send a written request to the RO? If I wait a resonable time, would the C & P be included in the copy of the file from the RO? Also, my C & P is at the VA Hosiptal at Alexandria, La. Anyone have any experince (good or bad) with this facility? Thanks.

Va Incompetence
I recently was denied for an increase for my spine injury. I am currently 40% for my thorocumbular because of my ROM especially only a 5 degree forward flexion and 50% total. I went to my C&P in July 08' and was measured for my cervical ROM not my Lumbar. I received NOD letter, but the big shock was they said my lumbar was showing signs of improvement and that I showed a 40 degree forward flexion. The 40 degree forward flexion was froma really old C&P and that is the only place I can think of that they got that measurement since I was not measured during this last C&P. That shows you how close they really do look at your medical evidence! I also was denied mul…

What Carries More Weight?
Bottom line.... Does the fact that no reflux showed up on the UGI will be the key to not getting the increase? Or do the notes of the examiner override that? I am not sure if I am asking the right question here. But just wanted to know what is more important when it comes to getting rated for this. The xray or the examiners notes? Just wanted to add that the reflux and hiatial hernia did show up on the first C&P exam I had back in Apr 2007. I had a C&P exam for an increase for GERD on the 25th of September. I am rated for GERD but at 0%. I asked for an increase and they sent me back to get checked out. I had an UGI done and some labs. I had this …

What Can I Expect To Happen?
I have a C & P Exam scheduled for next week for Hearing Loss. I'm deaf in one ear(not service Related), but I'm going for a partial loss of hearing on my good ear, which the VA has provided a hearing aid for me. I'm from the Viet Nam era - with a combat star. I'm trying to say when I went to "A" School, my other aviation schools,working on the line with my squadron, and serving on many detachments in the Pacific, all we had were the ear-plugs in the plastic containers. There were no "Mickey Mouse Ears back then. Are they going to eat me up...

First C&p Exam For Prostate Cancer
I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in June 2007. I've gone through 32 weeks of radiation treatment ending December 2007. I just found out last week(Oct. 2008) that I would get some type of disability for being in Vietnam. I filed a claim last week with a VSO. When should I expect an exam date? Since my cancer treatment was last winter will I get a temporary 100% disability? Thanks,
