I hope all of you had a relaxing Thanks Giving, and could be with family and friends and for those who have loved ones who have passed away (my self included), I hope you all managed as best as possible.
I have a question or two about IMO. I have read Berta’s post about this and I did get a very well written letter (IMO) from my doctor. I am wounding if the VA will treat this as an IMO. I say this because, the doctor that wrote it has treated me in the past to include surgery’s and has written a note for me in the past that was not very specific. Does the IMO have to be from a doctor that you have never seen in order to qualify as an IMO?
This doctor referenced my SMR, VA C&P’s, rating decisions, other VA and non VA doctor notes, etc…
Basically my VA and private doctors aggress that my conditions has worsened yet the VA still sent me to a QTC general (non-specialized) doc. This IMO is written extremely well.
