C&P Examiner Pushed Me...FORCED

Rate this question

Question

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 was extremely swollen from arthritis), I had no idea what she was doing and because of my problems I had some incontinence which was embarrassing. I had developed this from exposures to certain things in OEF (spots on spine). I was so mad, how bad the VA was screwing me any way they could and hell I just got back from war a year prior and this is how I was treated for sacrifice to the country. I left in tears and dirty drawers. I had no idea what to do, the VA hospital refused me c&p records from this and the VA only used it against me and then ignored as the exam didn't exist and the service reps with DAV, American Legion, all didn't give a damn and since I was a very young guy-they didn't care either; being first wave of guys back from war it was sparse to see young vets since not being in war for a long time-I am sure-but they didn't give a damn-USELESS SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS. I tried to fight back, I got nowhere, the VA was against me, in a demonic way. THIS WAS A VERY, VERY, VERY BAD EXPERIENCE I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU.  I realized the examiner was puppet for money, the VA and some demonic people within the VA wanted to screw me and that VSO's are worthless and YOU are all on your own. By the way, why is it if you have pieces of your spine removed it isn't considered like a loss of a body part is, losing a leg or an arm is paid out SMC, but if your missing parts of your spine how in the world is that now considered a loss of a body part and not entitled to SMC? It would be like saying, oh you use a prosthetic leg, so you leg is fine, no loss. Hence, segments of spine removed and replaced, fused, etc. I wonder why this topic hasn't caused more fuss in the VA community as range of motion is a joke, and that just all that is used to rate.

I can relate. I just recently went in for an increase for my S/C knee & shoulder issues. The examiner forces me to continue movement in my shoulder and knees after I told her I was in pain. She told me she would document the degree of movement where I felt pain and notate that the remaining movement was while in extreme pain. FALSE!. I reviewed my C&P exam and noticed she didn't document it and instead documented my ROM throughout the pain where I specifically told her I was in extreme pain. Now my shoulder is extremely inflamed and I cannot move at all. On top of that, they gave me the minimum rating for pain 4 years ago on my initial rating where my results showed the bare minimum for range of motion. I should've been compensated fairly, but I was instead provided the minimum.

 

best of luck to you

If you feel your C&P was not evaluated correctly or the Examiner did not meet the qualifications you can request a New C&P from RO.

They usually set you up another exam   However it may take longer.

Oh they so ignored and refused me on this and I even called the VARO complaining, no new exams nothing, they just were out to screw me. If I had a penny for every request and or docs that I have telephoned, sent, faxed, or emailed over the years which were plain out ignored and or missing I could probably buy a small tropical island. I rather believe to be able to record the C&P examiners with a witness videoing the whole thing. It should be a law that witnesses are allowed to go with you.

You can always say this to the examiner, ''Do you mind if my wife/friend sets in during the exam''.

My wife has always set in with me at all my exams. & I have had 4...so for.

and it does help  keeps them for lying

& If you call the VA you need to ask for he right person   the C&P Director for Request or Rescheduled another C&P  & Tell him/her your story as to what happen at your C&P
