Just Back From My C&p Today!

[bm6546]

Had my C&P today for ED. Same nurse that gave me a C&P almost 2 years ago and from her mis-information and deletion of pertinent info, the VARO flat turned my claim down. Its almost like she looked at me as if to say, "Your back again...what is it this time that you think you have and that I can deny for you again".

I'm sorry, but I don't think I handled this examination very well. She asked me a lot of questions about problems associated with guys that have ED and repeated the questions over and over again. She could see that I was very upset and pissed off that I got her for my exam, and she must have asked me a half dozen times if I wanted to cancel or postpone this exam and reschedule for a later date. I know it would take at least 6 months to a year to get another exam.

My question is how long should it take to get the results from my C&P and how can I get a copy of the C&P.

Good thing I was riding on the VA van because as upset as I was I probably would have driven off the freeway, accidently.

Any answers would be appreciated, as always and thanks in advance.

Even if you are just 0% for the heart condition then I think if you filed for ED as secondary it should fly if a doctor says that your ED is a result of the heart condition. You need doctor's opinion to tie the heart attacks to the SC heart condition. When you are dealing with secondary conditions you almost always need a nexus statement from a doctor. I got PN and PAD secondary to SC DMII but I had to get medical opinions.

john999,

The VA Cardiologist is the one that first diagnosed me with ED. He said that it was common in some men after a heart attack. Unfortunately, that VA doctor is no longer at the VA hospital. I am going back to the VA hospital next week to see a new Cardiologist. Trying to get my Plavix renewed. I also want to see if the new Cardiologist will prescribe Viagra instead of the Vardenafil that the VA prescribed. Vardenafil doesn't seem to work very well for me. The Viagra seems to work a little better.

I have been SC at 0% for my heart condition for over 40 years. I am trying to get the SMC for ED as secondary for my depression, anxiety and PTSD which was brought on from my heart attack. My Service Officer said that if the VA gives me SMC for ED and they make it SC as a secondary condition to my heart condition, I will have a good chance of getting my other conditions approved.

Will just have to wait and see how the VA feels about it.

BSM, if they took it years ago and you did not improve like they said you did, that my friend may be what we call a cue. You did not appeal. It is a final decision.

I would check the rating criteria for back then and see if they had good reason to take it.

If not, I would file the cue claim with the evidence yesterday.

Good luck, I would like to see that claim.

jbasser,

I'm not sure what a cue is. All I know is I was discharged from the Navy because I couldn't do half the physical things your supposed to do in the Navy, so they discharged me with a SC heart condition at 10%. After approx 18 months they decided that I was employed full time so I did not need the $17.00 a month and took it away. My heart condition has only got worse over the years, and I had a heart attack 2 1/2 years ago. I tried at least twice over the last 40 years to get the VA to reinstate my 10% and was denied both times. I have filed a couple of claims in the last 2 years and waiting to see what happens.

The VA had no problem giving me the VA health care. I don't get it!!
