Yesterday, the VA from South Dakota called me, by the way I live in Northeast, to ask me if I went to my last C@P exam with QTC which I did, He told me, he is looking for that information so they can finish my Cervical spine fusion claim, has this happen to anyone else? Ken

I have been waiting for C@P exam for a while, I called the VA and they told me to QTC. When I called QTC about scheduling my exam they told me there is only one physician with in a 100 miles of me, and they have to call them to see what is is open. Of coarse QTC had to leave message to the physician for call back, QTC asked me to call back in a week. Which I did, same thing happen, oh ya week three same thing. I call the VA and asked them if this is normal. one physician in 100 miles and I live in Boston, and the physician must not need the work because of no call backs. Has any one had this problem, if so how do you end up solving it? Oh so the C@P exam is about my Lumbar fusion I am asking for 100 percent temporary while I recover, yes I have been out of work for two months now. Thanks Ken

After making a written request for a copy of my C@P exam, usually how long does it take to receive a copy. Thanks Ken

Yesterday I had C2P exam of cervical back, I was in and out 15 mins, my question is how do I get a copy of the exam? Is it usual to have a nurse practitioner to do c2p exam? Last question is that the Nurse Practitioner said I have a rating ( which I do for Lumbar) this should be a no brainer but I am very skeptical of being what is being said. Thank you, Ken

Good morning I am going for c@p exam next for cervical spine, I ended up with level 3 fusion in my neck, my question is this I have my pilot log book of my hours that I flew and my NATOP jacket, and my training jacket, should I bring those with me, and along with pictures of what I was flying because CH 46 helicopter is no longer in service. Please not I was not a pilot I was helicopter mechanic and crew chief with more than 2000 hrs flying. I also found Navy and Army study that states about NVG's with neck pain, and vibration was bad for you, along with the seating. Thanks Ken

I was awarded 20 percent disability for Lumbar disc degeneration, and I had surgery last month for lumbar fusion, I have put in for temp 100 percent disability its been more than 30 days, so any one have any ideas how long it takes to be approved. I sent in letter from surgeon, and operation report. Thanks Ken

BVA awarded my lower back injury as in service, but 3 yrs later I needed surgery for my lower back, so I place a claim for rate increase. (Lower back fusion L3-to S1) in this rate increase claim, will they have that same information I had in my c-file when the BVA awarded my case? Thank Ken

Good day, I received 20 percent disability for lumbar disc problems and 10 percent for each leg for total of 40 percent, I recently had to lumbar fusion of several levels. Trying to figure out what forms I need to fill out. Called VA three times got three different answers. So I started new claim for increase to my current disability’s. What do you do for temp disability as for what forms you fill out? Thanks for any information you can pass my way. Ken
