I have to jump over.

I'm sorry got so preoccupied with this, i forgt to say thank you for your help.

I'm also sorry that I can not tell you the cause on this forum. It is still way to bothersome for me to discuss in an open environment.

Thanks

Ron

Ron,

Make sure that you have the VHA handbook 1605.1 and most important the VHA Directive 2004-014 which talks about C&P Exam amendments in hand when you go back to the VA. I got them off the VA website. You can also check with the VA Hospital's library. How I did the request for amendment is for each item that was incorrect I listed in " " what the examiner said and then I listed what was wrong and how it should have read. Remember you are requesting an amendment which they could disapprove, however if you go in there with the Directive and with everything in order to the point listed in order then you will have a better chance. To give you an example: the examiner stated that the veteran never consumed any food or never drink anything while on board the ship during ship overhaul for removal of asbestos. Drinking or eating on board the ship was never mentions during the C&P exam. During the amendment this item was deleted because unless the examiner was also on the ship with the Veteran he could not know what was consumed.

No problem Ron. You take care and wishing you well with your claim.

Be sure that you place in writing what you disagree with in the C&P, as you will need it.

As in my case, the doctor chose to leave the slander in the C&P, which was her option, but believe she may be regretting it now.

I didn't take it sitting down.

I have been proving to the BVA just what a liar she is.

If your case goes to the courts you will need all of this information in within the 60 days allowed you by the AMC.

Always,

Betty
