Unclaimed Finding During C&P Exam-Does this require a new Claim?
Rate this question
Question
Bullwinkle
During my C&P exam the examiner had both my feet x-rayed. My original claim was for secondary plantar fasciitis of the LEFT foot due to LEFT leg shorting. The examiner stated it was "as least as likely". Apparently there are more serious issues with my RIGHT foot based on the x-rays however, this was not part of my original claim. Would this be something I would need to do a new claim for? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
X-Ray Report:
RIGHT AND LEFT FOOT: AP and lateral.
CLINICAL INDICATION: C & P examination.
REFERENCE: Left foot 5/24/2016.
The lateral views were obtained in the weightbearing position.
Right: There is a hallux valgus deformity. There are arthritic
changes at the first metatarsophalangeal joint. There is spurring
at the dorsal aspect of the head of the first metatarsal. There
are moderately severe arthritic changes at the interphalangeal
joint of the first toe. There is a 3 mm spur at the plantar
aspect of the calcaneus. The calcaneal pitch is in the borderline
normal range.
Left: There is a mild hallux valgus deformity. No fracture
deformity, bony erosion or destructive lesion is noted. The
calcaneal pitch is in the borderline normal range.

Yes it does, because the VA rarely does anything for you when it comes to claims. I claimed my right shoulder when I left service and was awarded 10%, later increased to 20%. During the C&P
