tdiu 2 Weeks And Still No Cnp Report

[Aquabear]

I did a TDIU CnP (at PM&R) on March 14 2011 and still no report in the system from ROI when I called them. I am confused/anxious/second guessing everything- as to the reaosns why the report is still not done. I had a General Medical exam on Sat 3/22 and the report was in the system that Monday and I got the print from ROI.

I know I probably am trying to read into it too much but is it taking so long becasue I just had a VA contractor install handles in the shower, provide and hook up toilet handles, and brought and put together the shower seat? Does the CnP doc need to see that these were installed to put on the report? About 99% of the time I have a VA doc's report from ROI within 24/48 hours BUT my CnP Doc REALLY went out of his way and broke the normal protocol and got me medical assit living services- ie new cane, shower handles, toilet handles and much much more. Do you think (I know anything could happen) he had to wait to type the report til after the home install stuff.

I am trying to be positive and remember how much the doc helped me out that day. Even the General Medical doc Cnp from Saturday March 12 2011-NOTE: One really good thing from the General CnP exam from this past Saturday the Doc wrote in Diagnosis a lot of helpful things to my case but one that I really hope helps that “The service connected disability of chronic lower back syndrome would render him unable to secure or maintain substantially gainful employment

Thanks for your help, the last 2 weeks not knowing sucked AND of couse after he's done the report I'll have to wait for VA toprocess/RATE the claim UUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely ,

Um, thanks for your input but I think you might be a little too new for me on here to give advice. I actually thought the Dr's report is in my favor. Maybe a senior member, someone with more experience could comment on the doctors report.

Thanks thou.

If c&p doctor used the phrase "less likely than not" this is not good. The doctor is saying right thigh pain is probably not related to back condition. Now you need your own IMO's to rebutt this conclusion. The doctor says your back is a mess but unrelated to thigh pain. Don't give up!

Thanks John. Never give up, never surrender! After reading some of the stories on here, I get motivated and inspired to do what I have to do for my case.

The docs statement of the rating with the thigh pain isn't great but I'll take it- it wasn't a 100%negative statement i.e."it was not caused by" but you are right I will need an IMO which I think my outside Pain Management doc will provide me (maybe,I hope).

But regarding the back, I believe the statements he wrote are what I needed for getting an increase in rating and possibly TDIU- the CnP exam was for 1. TDIU and for 2. increase in current rating AND 3. right hip pain connection.

I can only hope that this is pushed to and gets rated fast, Mexican fast- even Mexican fast is faster then VA fast

Thanks for chiming in John999. You and the people who give advice help Vets like me keep our sanity.

Sincerely,

Vets have come here with claims that were just so difficult and complex and old that I thought there was no chance for them. Through persistence they proved they could move mountains. You are SC for something. That means you have the lever to move the mountain. A 10% rating can become a 100%. I did it and so can you.
