[Dbq's]

Buck,

I few points concerning DBQ’s recently had my pulmonologist fill one out for me for my asthma and sinusitis. Needless say it was waste of my time. Mind you this is the same doc that treated me when my PFT-FEV1 indicated 40% in 2005 to current 65%. Same doc that prescribed my Prednisone for asthma exacerbations(avg 2 packets a month).

3B on form-DOES THE VETERANS RESPIRATORY CONDITION REQUIRE THE USE OF ORAL OR PARENTERAL CORTICOSTEROID MEDICATION? He indicates/checks 2 bursts within 12 months. His own medical notes indicates “The patient’s asthma causes daytime symptoms 1 to 2 times per month”. My medical records indicate use of prednisone at least 12 months within the past year.

And here’s the Kicker! Part A-ASTHMA

2. HAS THE VETERAN HAD ANY ASTHMA EXACERBATIONS IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?

Checks NO-And indicates- Not to my knowledge. HELLO DOC!! Prednisone!!! You prescribed it!

I would describe the DBQ form for sinusitis but it’s not worth our time! SMH!

I just think certain doctors are afraid their medical licenses will be taken away if the sign against ole Uncle Sam! Just my craze thought!

Either way I think I got enough medical evidence on his own reports to fight this in my favor! Lord Willing!!

[Hello My Fellow Warriors]

Been on this site on and off since retirement in from USA in 2004. Thanks for all you do! Managed my VA Compensation from initial 30%-40% to 90% Thanks to Hadit.com and other websites and resources. Pushing for the final percentages "Lord Willing". Throwing the kitchen sink at them this time. From Asthma(high doses of corticosteroids) to a injuried right finger while Jumpmastering in 1988(initially denied as sc). Got about 30 days before claim expires need to get on it-crunch time. Maybe I can get advice in the right forum. BTW how the heck to load profile pic(select url?) why not just upload from pc-can't be my pc? Thanks Again! God Bless!
