I had an inaccurate C&P exam for depression on 18 February 2020. The examiner basically minimized my diagnosis, symptoms and ability to work. Her report was the very opposite of what my psychiatrist and therapist have diagnosed. I’ve been seeing them for 3 years, so I feel they know my illness better. The C&P exam was made available in my healthe vet record on 6 April and the board made their decision on 7 April. I had no chance to disagree with the raters findings.
The day I did read the exam report and noticed the differences and a incorrect ICD coding, I called my therapist and she got the rater to make an addendum with the correct ICD code. I don’t know if the VA reviewer got to see the correction because they made their decision the next day.
How can I dispute the C&P exam? Is it possible to request another C&P exam?
