Jason Kahl Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 True Story.. My Primary Transportation are fore arm crutches and secondary is a wheelchair, I got the wheelchair a couple weeks ago when a nurse at the clinic followed me out. Every step I take looks like I am about to bust my ass..So she tells me Hey! do you want me to check to see if we could provide you a wheelchair? I said sure. Half hour later I am rolling out in style. She also put in a consult for a electric chair. Yesterday I went to that... Doc says...with my injury I should ALWAYS been primary transportation Wheelchair and crutches secondary.... I qualify for home modification including a wheelchair ramp I qualify for vehicle modification(hand controls for brake and gas) I COULD have gotten a custom wheelchair built just for me BUT they gave me the off shelf chair a few weeks ago so I have to wait a "undefined" period of time unitl they can "Justify" the cost.... I do NOT qualify for the electric chair because I can push the other myself for 200 yards...Never mind that pushing the chair and walking on crutches pushes into the TWO surgical sites...Never Mind that I have a Gravel Drive way....Never Mind I can not take my kids to the Park!....Never MIND I have to keep outings short because I get tired of pushing myself or it hurts... I can push the chair 200 yards on a flat smooth surface DENIED!! Someone needs to send Christopher Columbus to the VA and explain the Earth is NOT FLAT!!! When I complained about not getting the electric I was told I Needed to Accept my Limitations! Blankity Blank Blank and the HORSE YOU RODE IN ON!!! I don't expect to return to work and was told the spinal cord damage is permanent as a added BONUS I will continue to loose muscle from the waist down. I still feel everything so it even hurts to sit due to the muscle loss the bones in my hips and butt only have layer of skin over them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlie Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I was wondering; can you have a recorder in the C&P exam?? I mean why not??? ranger11bv, Claimants have no right to record a C&P examination or have an attorney present. This has been questioned several times and I always responded we have no legal right to record a VA examination. carlie http://www.warms.vba.va.gov/admin21/m21_1/...3/ch03_seca.doc Section A. Examination Requests f. Veteran's Legal Rights A veteran has no legal right to · be accompanied by counsel during an examination, or · record an examination.

HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted May 19, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) I was wondering; can you have a recorder in the C&P exam?? I mean why not??? I tried that once in my younger days, and can appreciate why one would want too. No cameras allowed either.
