Thank yall for your replies!
The gentlemen i saw today i believe was an MD. He did do a c&p exam on my left shoulder because that was all that was requested of him. He did the same test that the last guy did, and set me up for an x-ray.. I do not believe i requested a hearing, i probably should have. I have been doing all of my own paper work due to the lack of trust of my local county veteran service office. They were rude to me on the phone, and when i tried using another counrty VSO, the guy sent me on a 9 month long side track that gave the same results that i already had.
The issues were 1- A shoulder injury from falling of an F-14 tomcat onto a piece of metal sticking out of the ground, 2- Chronic IBS that has caused me not only pain everyday, but embarresment and anxiety problems. it also has taken me away from work at times, and 3- Hemroids that cause me pain and bleeding everyday..

Hello!
I am a new member on here. I have been dealing with the VA for two years now. I recently sent in a notice of disagrement on 3 out of 4 of my ratings coming back at 0% and shortly after I got a letter in the mail that gave me the DRO option. So i checked that, and then weeks later i was scheduled for an appointment with the Compensation & pension doc. So today i went in to see the Doc and to my suprise, he said that he was only going to see me for one condition. Is that normal? Are they going to send me in for one problem at a time instead of getting everything looked at once like they did my first go around?

After electing to go the DRO way, earlier this year,today I got the piece of mail from the VA. After reading through the statementof case, it said that 2 of my ratings were being increased to 10% each and theother will stay at 0% effective Jan,2009
The packet of papers came with a VA form 9 at the back.
Now on the front it says under the What You Will Need To do- To complete your appeal,you must file a formal appeal. Does that mean that I need to fill out form 9with everything I stated in my NOD? I am happy with one of the three decisionsthat is stated in my statement of case that I received today, but I havemedical evidence that my symptoms are worse and getting worse on the other two.
My next question is regarding the pay; it says in the statement of case thatthe increases will be effective Jan 2009. I had one decision rating at 10% frombefore that I did not appeal. So now I will have 3 ratings at 10%. How does theVA determine the total disability pay for this? Will my rating still be 10% orwill increase? And if so will I get back pay to Jan 09?
