Question

Well I had 6 years active duty 81-87 and am still in the reserves and was called up for Operation Enduring Freedom twice (stateside). Back in Feb 04, I filed for C&P for warious health issues (hernias, flat feet, hammer toes, migraines, blood clots in legs, severed wrist liginament and depression.
It wasn't until June 05 that I got scheduled for 5 physicals - Gen Med, psychology, Internal, VAS surgery, neurology. In Sept I requested copies of the exams from the Houston VARO. I STILL HAVENT RECEIVED THEM. Then in Dec the scheduled a another Gen Med exam. I was out of town and submitted a request to reschedule. THen they send me a letter saying they are backloged and they have all the info that they need.
Why would they want another exam, and why havent I received my coopies of the exams?
I calle my SO and he said my file was in Cleaveland Ohio. WHY? When I called the VA earlier they said my file was in adjudication. What is that?
So I wait. Should I make a 2nd request for my exams or wait to I get a rating? I would like tt know the steps to appeal. DO I have 120 day? WHo do I contact?
Since I have 3 more years in the reserves before I decide to retire, If I am awarded and monies, Is that money offset from reserve pay before taxes?
What happens once I turn 60 and draw retired pay? Is the VA C&P offset by my reserve pay? If so that sucks!!
THansk for the advice.
Joe
