Got a call today from the VA to report for a C&P Exam, 29 January 2018 for TBI. The apt is with a Neurologist (PhD/Dr.) The lady called the C&P a "Supplemental Request".
Currently, I am waiting on the results from my PTSD C&P exam. This exam was my FIVE YEAR C&P since my Medical Retirement. My C&P for PTSD (was 20 Oct 2017 (my schedule date for decision is from 8 Jan 18 - 15 Feb 18). I medically retired 21 Nov 2011.
To read up on my situation/questions for my C&P Exam for PTSD can see my entries within the PTSD Forum.
On E-benifits, I am rated the following:
11/23/2011
post concussive headaches 30% Service Connected
Disability Evaluation System (DES)
While nothing in the VA says an "Award" of TBI, it was never ruled out nor was I tested. I did sustain a massive IED, lost consciousness but I never went to the medics for this incident. I was fighting a war at the time. As stated, the lady that called today informed me that the C&P for TBI was "supplemental request" for my PTSD C&P dated 20 Oct 2017, which I am STILL waiting for a decision. Therefore, this must be the trigger for the TBI C&P Exam.
A few of my questions are:
1. Why is the VA wanting a C&P for TBI when I don't have anything on E-Benefits that says TBI. I do have Post Concussive Headaches, but not TBI.
2. Does this have anything to do with my current C&P (which is ongoing) for PTSD??? (I assume, YES; however, this concerns me, because I know how the VA can twist things.)
3. Does the group have any advice to offer me on what I can do to keep my current 30% for Post Concussive Headaches??
4. And lastly, there are some very smart senior veterans on this Forum; therefore, I am open to any other advice offered!!!
Thank everyone in advance!!
