I understand,

What you need to do is just wait  for the Bladder C&P  Report b/c they could add to the MST Claim depending on the out come of the examiner, you had a favorable MST C&P Exam, I believe they are sending you to the Bladder C&P for more medical information as to the systoms  you have for secondary ratings...if the out come is not in your favor so-to- speak  this may need you to NOD The decision.(Notice of Disagreement )...so just wait and see what the Bladder C&P Report says.

let us know here on hadit..(when is this Bladder C&P?)

I would take any medical evidence you have that is substantial to this claim to this Bladder C&P...If the examiner don't seem to be helping you with this claim and is negative  and don't mention some of your medical evidence  then you must point it out to him/her at this exam...if you have any private medical evidence as well as any VA Medical...take all copies to this exam....if the exam goes well and in your favor then you wont need to do this  but do take any evidence in case you need it.

usually an inferred  claim is a lot better than a denied claim  its just that they want more medical evidence & systoms to make a rating.

Some times the VA don't send all the evidence to the examiner, ask the examiner if he/she has your C-FILE And as read all your medical records , if not  then you can show him what evidence you have at the C&P.

Gastone is trying to help   some times veterans get a little ahead of them self  but your case is unique with MST, We male veteran are not use to MST Claims..I know I 'm not,but the MST Claims should be treated fairly according the the CFR'S and under VA Laws

Note:  it may help you if you take your hubby to this C&P usually you can ask the examiner if he/she minds your Hubby to be with you?..and they usually say sure yes mam.

if your hubby being with you and  upsets you are makes you feel more uncomfortable  then go in by yourself...but hubby can wait in the waiting room.  just letting you know its your choice.

So my Advise is to try to relax and go to this  BladderC&P and see how it goes  and get the report...if its VA C&P The you can get it 3 days after..if its contracted out  then it takes about 3 or 4 weeks to get the report  but you probably already know this?

will do! I think I am driving myself crazy..., but it seems to me if they were going to deny the PTSD/MST, then they would have done so already
