C & P Make Sure They Do It Right

[maxwell18]

This may help in processing and getting your claims through the the system. After submiting claims and receiving denials I started reviewing how the C&P should have been conducted and found in a lot of cases the person did not follow the VA requirements for C&P exminations. Example, for my back problems no range of motions measurements were taken. A requirement for ratings. The guide is called "Clinician's Guide" March 2002. I found this on the internet and printed the whole guide off and put in a binder. It covers every detail and guidence for them to follow in all C&P. I think you will find if you check this out you will much better armed for your actual C&P examnations on what they should be checking and doing and give a heads

up what to reply to. As you already know when they ask how you feel your response should be your worse day because you say OK they will turn it around that you said you don't have any problems.This has happened to me severals times. Pain rating one to ten, if you feel good you say 4, they will say no problem on your C&P. Another note, on my Social Security claim, turned down three times. I went to the office that handled my claim and reviewed my claim records,about 80% of the records was blank. I appealed again asking how a determention could be made with all information missing? Came back in about three weeks approved. Botttom line..100% schedule P&T and Security Security.
