Do you have a copy of ALL your SMR's (Service Medical Records)?

If so, do you have any record of being treated for the condition that you are claiming, while in the service, and if so, do these records indicate when/where/how this condition came about?

If so, does this record indicate that this condition was incurred during your service or was aggravated during your service?

If so, do you have any record of continuing treatment for this condition following your discharge and up until this period of time?

If not, you're probably screwed.

Hello hurryupnwait,

You can expect the AMC and it's RO level rating specialists, to window shop for an unfavorable C&P and or try to pin your currant spinal issues on anything they can, POST service. If nothings in your post service records, like hurt your back while lifting a boat or patient reports back strain while hiking in snow. They may just make it up and deny anyway, but generally they will pick anything out like the remarks from your chiropractor and run with it.

They will build a whole case around their theory of how all of these post service injuries caused all the intervertabral disc disease, scoliosis, osteoarthritis etc from lifting that boat.

In the mean time, you can expect them to completely ignore, "ANY" and I do mean ANY favorable evidence.

You can save yourself years of this cat and mouse game by getting an IMO from Dr Bash and submitting it.

Don't expect any VAMC C&P examiner to be a specialist. Many are nurse practitioners,"trained" to provide the examination the way the VA wants them.

If they are an MD, more than likely they will be an"Internal Medicine" Dr.

If your health Issues are neurological/spinal, you will need someone who specializes in interpreting diagnostic tests like MRI's.

Trying to get a C&P examiner to go through all your records and an examination in under two hrs is difficult for all the issues I have.

Most VA examiners ignore your medical history and their opinion is only based on what they observe during the examination.

Hurryupnwait,

Being that I am an example of the " Window Shopping Game" having a " More Likely than Not" and going 5 months later for another C&P just to receive a denial, I would do as Allen stated, get that IMO, from Dr. Bash and the sooner the better.

You have been at the AMC way too long.

The VA will try everything that they can to say that your condition existed before service.

I have submitted 3 letters from my Pastor, who has known me since the age of 13 to dispute the findings of the last C&P.

I never suffered from nervouness, anxiety, headaches etc, before entering the Navy.

I also went so far as to contact my military treating doctor to dispute the last examination also.

I submitted 3 letters from my present doctor of 30 years to dispute the findings of the last C&P.

I submitted a Buddy Letter also in dispute and a letter from a friend that has known me for over 50 years and letters from my two daughters and husband.

The last C&P is no more than slanderous attacks at my character and plain pure lies.

My claim has been rated by the " Rating Specialist and is now waiting for the signature of the " Supervisor".

I will know within the next couple of weeks, if I received a grant.

Always,

Josephine

Why else would the VA ask for "clarification"? If the evidence is in at least "equipoise" As the VA seems to believe, it would be resolved in the veterans favor, unless the VA can come up with something to counter existing records, even if the records were generated by the VA.

"Would clarification of a favorable C&P exam be to the point where it would be unfavorable after the clarification?"

Would clarification of a favorable C&P exam be to the point where it would be unfavorable after the clarification.
