C&p's Done

[martin]

well folks here it is, see if anyone can figure this out? i had 6 C&P's last month. my C file went back up to the ratings board...again. i called the 1-800 number yesterday to check my status.( i returned a form last week that they sent me asking to submit more evidence from IU. i have no more evidence, so i signed 'rate the claim'.)the person on the distant end said i have to have an audiology exam, as well as exam on my thoracic lumbar etc... which was requested may 21st. i told her that i already did all those last month. she said well maybe theres a glitch in the system. so i called C&P, and after being talked to 'rudely'was told thats whats on the computer. makes no sense to me. its as if i'm going back to square 1. i was told earlier by the v.a. that my file was ready to be rated. whats the deal with the exams again? thats it..martin

Martin, send and IRIS inquiry as to the status of your claims and the recipt of the C@P examinations.

The other person may have been looking at the worong screen.

thanks jbasser, BUT! the mystery has been solved. after making some more phone calls,and not getting anywhere but ticked off, my wife came from the mail box, and guess what? it was a packet from the V.A. awarding me 70% for ptsd,and 10% for chronic headaches.(got hit with an IED in iraq)the other appointments are follow ups on my hearing loss in left ear,and tingling in my hands,and neck. those two were deferred,but if i can show i have hearing loss, (that shouldnt be a problem).

i took 2 hearing tests in the past 10 months and flunked my left side both times. that'll give me another 10% and bump me up to 80%. i'm still in a state of shock. later for now....martin

Martin-that is GREAT NEWS- did you send in the TDIU form I attached to an older post for you?

Did they mention TDIU or defer that issue?
