[Thank you Hadit Finally 100% P&T]

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. 

[VES Records Review C&P Question]

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

[VES Records Review C&P Question]

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.

[VES Records Review C&P Question]

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.

[VES Records Review C&P]

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.

[Download Decision Letter]

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

[HLR C&P]

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

[QTC C&P Exam By Private Dr.]

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.

Have a great afternoon.

[Correcting Error]

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

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

[Correcting Error]

I've attached a copy of he C&P

C&P.docx

[Correcting Error]

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.

[Correcting Error]

Hi Broncovet

I actually had an IMO along with my case and they still denied it.

[Correcting Error]

I actually already did a supplemental before I did the HLR and that one was denied as well, so could I go back and do another supplemental or do I have to go to the BVA?

[Correcting Error]

HI Pacmanx1

I sure do so now I have to go the BVA route so we'll see what happens

[Correcting Error]

Hi Everyone

I recently had a C&P exam on the 9th of July, the examiner told me that it would take 30 days for her to do her research and come to a decision about my claim. So the 9th of September was the 30 day mark and the case is still open as of today. I checked my blue button records and she actually made a decision on my claim the same day she said it's less likely than not. So my question is has any one seen results take this long and why would she lie to me and say it's going to take 30 days for her to find results and she made a decision the same day.

[Not at least as likely as not vs. Less likely than not]

Thanks and I sure will 

[Not at least as likely as not vs. Less likely than not]

Pacmanx1 thank you for the answer, my lawyer told me this morning the next option would be to go to the BVA so I guess that's where I'm headed.

 

[Not at least as likely as not vs. Less likely than not]

Hi Everyone

I had a C&P back in Dec for my migraine condition and I was denied and the examiner said the condition was less likely than not related to my car accident. So I filed a HLR and the VA gave me another C&P and I just looked in my blue button records and the C&P examiner this time said that my condition was not at least as likely as not related to my car accident. Can someone explain the difference to me because they sound like they are saying the same thing and thanks in advance.

[HLR C&P]

I sure will and thank you guys for the support I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply, this is my 4th C&P exam for migraine and I'll see what happens.

Thanks for the quick response and that what I thought as well, I found it kinda strange when she said she had to do some research and it would take 30 days.
