Question
63Charlie
I had a C&P exam for my ankle condition performed by QTC in July, 2016.
The QTC examiner( PA-C), service connected my ankle condition(bilateral)on his DBQ/ medical opinion and gave a concise rationale based upon service medical treatment records.
However... the VARO wouldn't render a decision after the favorable C&P exam.
Instead, I was sent for another C&P exam to Lake Baldwin(Orlando VAMC) five months later.
The second examiner(PA-C) wouldn't service connect my ankle disability(less likely as not) on his DBQ/medical opinion.
I asked the second examiner why was I having another C&P exam for the same condition because the first examiner told me he was service connecting my condition.
He typed on his DBQ what I said in CAPITAL LETTERS.
The latter examiner's DBQ/ is chock full of false statements concerning my medical evidence, especially my service treatment records.
He said there was no objective diagnosis in service when I actually had several for my ankles/feet/legs.
The VARO stated that the second examiner's opinion was more persuasive, and used the unfavorable C&P exam as the reason my claim was denied.
This second examiner mentioned he was seeking employment as the VA was laying him off.
At least that's some good news for other vets in the Orlando area so they don't have to face a dishonest examiner.
