3 Months Since C&p No Answer

[verk]

Well it's been 3 months since my C&P for a number of issues, most notably panic disorder and IT band syndrome. In todays tech world it is frustrating that something takes soooooooo long. Anyhow while all this waiting, I was called last week by QTC "You need to get a heart stress test" come in tomorrow. Ok well don't really understand that, but I went. All good I guess I wasn't rushed off to the ER during the test. :) This waiting is craziness! Wait 3 months, oh wait we need another test, now wait again. I filed my claim back in November last year and I guess it takes a year to decide i need a stress test. Well Yeah, I'm stressed from this f-ing waiting.

You know if you have two stress tests and one says you have a problem and one says you don't you should get the benefit of doubt. You have a tie on the results, so the tie goes to the runner (vet). This happened to me. I had a treadmill test that said I had IHD and a chemical test that said I did not. I got 60% on appeal with no other evidence. The only thing I can think of is benefit of doubt. The VA should have given me a third test and I don't know why they didn't.

Definitly a waiting game for most. I had 3 C&P exams back in June. The exams were for IHD, PN, and glaucoma secondary to DMII. I received a letter in August from the VA stating that they were waiting on final regs for IHD, shot down my claim for glaucoma, and nothing yet on the Peripheral Neuropathy. So, If they are going to deny you on a claim, there system seems to work very quickly. If there's a possibility of an award then it seems to take forever. (Wait, Wait, Wait)
