I just never knew it could be this bad....
March 2015, i filled out intent to submit quick claim August 2015 I submitted claim with 9 contentions, supplying dbqs and imes with each March 2016 my claim was closed with all 9 contentions not awarded I was then told that I had been scheduled for 5 c@p exams, which I never attended. Ofcourse I was never notified of these exams prior to my claim closing! I went through all the hoops and told them how I hadnt been notified of my c@p exams ect. I then got my Dr to right new IMEs directly combatting what the Va wrote in the denial of my 9 contentions. Low and behold, 2 months later the VA reopens the claim that close…

Question about exam & companies that claim to help
First thanks to all of you Veterans for your service. I am in Georgia visiting my uncle. He needed my help the other day in returning some forms to what he thought was the VA. I had set his first email up and that was where the forms were sent. The email was sent to him from: vetcompandpen.com. I was trying to do some research on them, but with little luck. When doing a google search I found a link to a BBB.org complaint, but when i clicked on it I rec'd a 404 error: http://www.bbb.org/north-east-florida/business-reviews/veterans-and-military-organizations/vet-comp-and-pen-in-gainesville-fl-235963268/Complaints. I did find a company in Florida with the same name but …

Fed Ex C&P Exam Arrival
Hi all. Did not get any feedback on my last post seeing if anyone had any knowledge on Ankylosing Spondylitis. Anyways fed ex jut delivered exam notice through a company named QTC Medical Services. Anyone had any dealings with these people? I filed for the AS with a secondary for arthritis because this condition is in my spine etc. but affects several other joint. I had dealt with VES for exams in the past and they did not go well as I have a pending appeal for A 30% rating that should have been 50 and another appeal for an exam done by the VA at the hospital that also resulted in a 30 that should be a 50. Needless to say I was shocked as hell when the doorbell rang …

Confusing C&P
I just had a C&P exam for fractured foot, deviated septum and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy secondary to LOWER BACK. I couldn't believe what the doctor wrote in the DBQ. I'm not including the entire DBQ but enough to show what I believe to be incorrect information. I sent copies of my civilian doctors’ notes (sciatica), MRI results showing multiple nerve impingement, and the examination results from my first visit to the pain clinic with my claim but the VA doctor says it is due to a fractured foot. The date of diagnosis of the peripheral neuropathy below is the date I fractured my foot. Will the rater ask for clarification from the doctor doing the DBQ…

C&P Examiner Pushed Me...FORCED
I want to know if any of you have been forced for movement in your c&p exams by an examiner? I was. In fact, at my exam the examiner went through with me my MRI and showed me MS spots all over my lower spine and all sorts of other problems, I just had surgery for blown discs and paralysis... a several moths prior, it was hard for me to even drive to the exam not being able to hardly feel my feet and I had severe arthritis since it was winter (nerve roots all clumped together), I got around with a cane. So, the examiner had me do the motions and pushed me down, and at the sides, etc... it hurt (she literally threw her hand and pushed me and caused nerve damage, my back…

My C&P Results and why i'm disturbed
In 2012 I EAS from the USMC and began a career in Law Enforcement. Like many of us I started the process of VA disability claims where I had issues which nagged me. Shoulder, knee, and back. I had 2 shoulder surgeries while active on my left shoulder and have been babying my right shoulder due to inflammation issues and restricted ROM. I met with the VA in Dec 2013 for my initial C&P examination where I explained the symptoms of my issues and conducted a ROM examination. I was provided with a 10% rating for Patello Femoral Syndrome in my Left and Right knee. 10% for my right shoulder and 10% for c-spine bulging disc. This is the minimum rating for pain. …

Curious
Hi Everyone! Would Like To Say Happy Memorial Day To My Fellow Comrades And All The Fallen Veterans For Paying The Ultimate Price Of Life! I Went On Ebennie Friday, May 27, 2016 And Seen Where My Claim Went To PDA. I Originally Filed For Three (3) Contentions: hysterectomy, bilateral foot condition and cervical radiculopathy. I received both C&P examinations on May 13, 2016 for hysterectomy and bilateral foot condition, but have not received one for the cervical radiculopathy. Have there ever been a situation where the rater may possibly rate the cervical radiculopathy along with the other two, if I have sufficient evidence in my records?

Mental Health C&P
I had all of my initial C&P exams about 3 weeks ago. I was not initially scheduled to see a mental health professional. At the general exam I was asked if I had ever been seen by a mental health professional during my AD service and whether I had ever been depressed. I answered yes to both. The examiner recommended to the VA that I have a mental health exam as well. I received the appointment letter two days ago. I have never been diagnosed with depression but I did have an evaluation/interview when I was trying to get my chronic pain diagnosed. I never heard back from the doctor after the evaluation. However, I have had suicidal thoughts at three differ…

Exams during flare up?
A friend of mine who is a fellow Vet were talking about the C&P process. Like me he has a lot of inflammation issues in his shoulders. I told him how the examiner asked me if I was having a flare up when she examined my knee. We both became curious if that has any effect on a rating. So if a veteran is experiencing a flare up during a C&P exam. Does the assigned rater take that into consideration and rate it at less of a percentage based on the restriction of movement due to a flare up? Or do they rate it as scheduled no matter what?
