Hello Vets!
I had a C & P exam in 2004 after filing for SC for a back injury which required one surgery while in service in 1996, and 3 more since they determined I wasn't worldwide qualified and I was honorably discharged. The remand states that my previous exam was done without the VA Dr. having reviewed my file, so one of actions they required is another exam. Of course I also got the letter requesting any info not currently in my file. Since 2 of my back surgeries were since my original claim was filed, I know they don't have this info. When I got my IMO to submitt, I faxed it to my VSO at DAV to see if he thought it was ok before I submitted all the other info. He called a little later saying that the doctor done a good job on the IMO and he had faxed it on to the Appeals Manager in W. VA. and had also talked to him. When I asked about sending the other info he said not to overload the boat, that he thought they had enough and that it looked promising. I then asked if I would be given another C & P exam? He said maybe not, to just wait and see what happens.
My question; Can an appeals center mgr settle a case for or against the veteran without scheduling the exam that the BVA requested?
Next; If they granted SC without the other exam, what would they go by to rate me, the first exam results? I feel like the info from the last 2 surgeries would carry some weight.
Any Ideas would be appreciated!!!
