I submitted a follow on claim four years after my initial claim for worsening conditions. I got a notification (accidentally) from QTM to schedule two C&P exams about 30 miles in opposite directions. I live in NYC. Being an 8D, I checked out the doctors. For PTSD, I was assigned a child psychologist. For my back and ankles, I was assigned a nurse practitioner with no specialized experience in osteopathic or neurologic disorders. I cancelled all the appointments and call the VA. I asked to have my C&P exams conducted only at a VA facility near me. Chad, the nice VA guy said he w

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. I just wanted to stop in and say hello. I haven't been on here since late last year. Life is going good. As most know my story and it was a doozy, I finally got everything I deserved! Overall 90% and I couldn't be happier. It took a lot of hard work and sleepless nights and a lot of C&P exams and fighting the VA but I prevailed. I was thankful for this sight b/c without it I would have never met a great guy that helped me with the final phase of my rating. I am now just waiting on an EED for my contentions but I am really not really worried about it

So on Monday I had my C&P exams for my feet/ankles/toe and scars. I think it went rather well and the doctor was thorough.

She over turned the DRO's decision due to his egregious errors in my decision that I brought to the attention of Mr. Robert McDonald's office and my local Congressman. After getting the representative from McDonald's office to contact me and then to get the WACO of

Hi everyone; I have several threads going but i want to get these C&P exams out there in the open. Please look at both C&P exams (Foot Conditions) (Ankle Conditions). Look at the errors done by ONE doctor. The first C&P exam I attached is for Foot Misc. The very first error by the C&P examiner is the fact that he states under #1 Diagnoses Avulsion Fracture 5th Metatarsal - date of diagnoses 6/23/2013. That is WRONG! If you look at the other C&P Exam for Ankles, under #1 Diagnoses he states right 5th metatarsal fracture - date of diagnoses 1993! YES that is

Okay as I sit and wait for my NOD decision to come back I have been looking at both the feet and ankle CFR ratings http://www.militarydisabilitymadeeasy.com/thefoot.html#top http://www.militarydisabilitymadeeasy.com/theankle.html#top I have multiple issues with my feet and ankles. For Morton's Neuroma it's pretty clear that is 10% period. For fractures to the foot do they rate under "broken bones"? After my hearing yesterday, the DRO indicated that regardless of residuals a broken bone at a minimum is 0% so if you have issues would the rating fall under this categor
