I wanted to say thank you to everyone on this board who has help me over the last 3 years. I checked my claim this morning and I saw that I was 100% and I didn't believe it at first but after checking my letter I saw it was real. This has been a long uphill fight but every single person on here told me not to give up and keep going and that's what I did. Again I just wanted to say thank you and I wish everyone the best in their pursuit of the rating the really deserve.

Dustoff 11 I sent the fax from FedEx and I sure am going to call them to confirm that they got the fax in the morning. I sent the fax at 4pm CST and they close at 5pm EST

Whodat what I meant was why didn't the VA send the files over to VES because I thought that would be default think to do but I guess not.

Recently I posted a question about receiving a records review only from VES. Today I received a call from VES stating that my exam will be a phone call instead of just a records review. In speaking to the VES agent she asked me to fax a copy of my sleep study, the prescription for the CPAP and a copy of the IMO over to the Dr. that's going to be calling me. Is it common for the VA not to send documentation over to the contractors, because I don't understand how the VA can set you up for a C&P with an outside entity and not give them the paperwork that I sent them.

Hi Everyone I recently submitted a claim for OSA secondary to PTSD, i logged in to the VES website and it says that my exam is this Friday which is the 24th. They are saying that my exam is a records review only no in person or virtual is required for the exam. I wanted to know does the VA send the contract examiner copies of my IMO, sleep study and prescription for my CPAP. I've never had a C&P like this before and I wanted to get some insight on what to expect.

Hi Everyone I opened a claim for an increase on my PTSD on the 6th of April and I checked today and it was closed. I wanted to know is there a way to download my decision letter online because to have the case closed after 2 days is pretty quick and I wanted to find out the reason why. Thanks

Hi Whodat After the VA C&P examiner denied me I filed another HLR with more evidence. I had another IMO written up and Case law to go along with it. I filed this in December and I had my C&P on Dec 28th and I got my results back on Feb 4th 2022, they granted me 30% SC. It has taken me almost 2 years of back and forth with the VA but i didn't get give up so everyone out there keep your head up and just remember, those not service connected will soon turn into service connected.

Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it

Hi Everyone I recently had a C&P exam scheduled by QTC for migraines as secondary to PTSD. I got my packet in the mail and went to the appointment, but upon arriving I noticed that the building sign said IA Health Link. So I go in and check in to my appointment, the Nurse Practitioner brings me to the back and starts asking me the questions off the DQB. The entire process takes about 5 minutes and then I'm done, when she's finished she says thank you for your service and I'll be forwarding my results over to QTC and QTC will forward the finding over to the VA. This is the question that I wanted to know, has anyone every had an appointment that was scheduled with QTC but it's really was with a private Nurse Practitioner who is doing the exam for QTC, I just have never had this before and I was curious.

Berta Have a great afternoon.

Was the SC PTSD due to an in service car accident?=Yes If so did this accident cause most or all of the additional back and nerve problems you have, as listed in the IMO?=Yes And thanks for all the help I really appreciate it

Berta I was rated for the back issues back in 2014 and I was recently rated for PTSD in September of 2020. So in your opinion my IMO should have been geared toward the PTSD and not the other conditions.

Hi Berta I've attached a copy of the IMO migraine IMO.docx

I've attached a copy of he C&P C&P.docx

Yep The IMO did actually support what my VA medical records and private records said but like you stated I'll just have to get more over whelming evidence the next go round.
