No C&p Exam

[crosssabers]

Hello there.

I am wondering if anyone has had their claim decided without a C&P? I submitted plenty of paperwork in support of my claim, most from VA itself, so I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else out there?

I went from 30% to 100% PT without a C&p.I had C&P Oct 24 2003 and was rated 30% March 29 2004,i file a NOD and ask for a "DRO"i submit a lot of new evidence and ask that my claim be granted from initial date which was June 1 2003,i also attended counseling at the va and went to my Private Clinical Psychologist and i was rated 100% PT Nov 9 2004 and date back to the original date of June 1 2003.

If VA is provided with hard evidence in support of a claim and they do not request a C&P, just deny outright-wouldn't that count as a CUE?

No for this would be a simply interpertation of the medical evidence provided. In this situation the response would be that the medical evidence provided soundly supported the denial. Not right but it is the way the system works. There would be no CUE as this would be a judgement call by the rater. Maybe a bad one, but it would be one.

I wondered about the CUE since at least some of the documentation (the most important to the claim) is from VA with a cut and dry diagnosis (AXIS & GAF).

No C&P equals no rating most of the time

I would write or call the VA RO and demand a C&P as soon as possible.

Had my first C&P last week, and I think it went well. Have a second one next week, as well as a follow up on the first one. Is it normal to get a full physical? The doctor also recommended me for service with the VA for my pain. Is this possibly a good sign?
