Thanks for the info Flores. I actually called the clinic this morning. I am in the process of gathering my records and will be sending them out hopefully by Monday. They said that they are currently scheduling for the end of June, beginning of July. The lady sounded very nice. I am looking forward to meeting Dr. Ellis soon. Good luck on your claim. Travis

Flores....if you don't mind sharing, how long did it take after initial contact with Dr. Ellis to: 1. Get an appointment scheduled 2. Receive the IMO BTW, that looks like a great IMO Travis

I am considering using Clifford Vocational....does anyone have an actual opinion that they have done that you can redact personal information and post. Would like to see an example of their work. Travis -

hilltravis replied to rcorluvpr's question in IMO Independent Medical Opinion
rootbeer, if you have a VSO, you can request a copy of your QTC C&P exam results from them. As long as they have made a decision, they can go into their virtualVA system and just print them out. I have gotten copies of everyone of mine and my wifes exams this way. Good luck! Travis -
We had a lot of other medical information, so the basis of his opinion was that "he concurs" with our personal doctors opinion and that based upon his representation before SSA office/claims, the amount of work missed makes me totally unemployable in the national economy. He also concurred with our personal doctor that my conditions are permanent and unlikely to improve. So, he opened with basic information about himself, how his opinions are founded/formed/framed. He recapped our medical records, stated his opinion, put in his credentials as well as his published papers list and signed

We used Dr Anaise for a different IMO for a pending TDIU claim. He did a great job and we will probably use him again later on for another claim that we will be filing. I know that he believes in the connection between PTSD and Sleep Apnea. With his credentials, I think he would be hard to beat. Travis

Did you apply for TDIU? If not, then I don't believe that they will award it....and if you're already at 100%, then TDIU offers no additional benefits. Travis

Spine ratings depends typically on Range of Motion. If you can bend forward less than 30 degrees, that will rate you a 40%. Remember that they are suppose to note when pain begins and you should stop when you start to hurt. Ensure that the examiners knows that this is the point that it begins to hurt. If you are having flexibility issues, and certainly with pain, put in for an increase. Travis
