Question
allansc2005
Got a veteran who's VA doctor is basically refusing to fill out a Disability Benefits Questionnaire(DBQ) requested by the veteran.
The veteran was denied secondary conditions for OAB, ED and BPH, even though he was diagnosed with radiculopathy and sciatica of both the upper and lower spine.
Even though it's well known that nerve problems in and around the spine can cause these secondary conditions, veteran's doctor doesn't see it that way.
Does his VA doctor have an obligation to fill out the DBQ, and if not, what's the veteran's alternative?
Thanks,
Allan
