Question
Jimmer
Hi Guys, I wan to thank you for all the help you have provided, it has been great for me! I have a question. I will try to make this brief, as possible. About three years ago, I felt the V.A. was "stonewalling" me on a couple of issues, my back and my lungs. I call the V.A line to MacDonald and Hinkley , and within a week, I was contacted by a RO from Phoenix, Az. She was handling my case, and just need completed DBQ's and Nexus letters, and any recent tests pertaining to my back and lungs. She said no C&P exam was necessary. I provided her all the documentation, and she said this was want she needed to finalize everything. I get a letter for a C& P exam. I tried contacting the V.A. in Phoenix ,Az, but no success. I tried contacting the RO but I found out later she was transferred from Phoenix to San Diego. I went to the C&P exam, because I know what happens when you don't go. This is the doctor I think I told you, told me, "wow your in bad shape". You back is really bad, and you have bad lungs. The he said "I am probably going to deny you, because that's what I do. But appeal, and you should win". He denied, and I sent a NOD. I had a DRO hearing March 2016. I provided all the information. But I neglected to provided the e-mails that I had, documenting from the RO that I did NOT need a C&P exam. I didn't bring it up in the hearing, because I couldn't fine them. and I thought they might have it in their files. (I know stupid me). I haven't received a decision yet. Do I wait until, if I am denied and provide the e-mails, or should I send them now, before a decision is made? I don't know what to do. Thanks again, Jimmer
