BoonDoc Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 After asking why I had another C&P exam for the same condition, I was told by the VA C&P physcian that they could make a C&P exam anytime they wanted during the process, and not in any order. He let me know who was boss! Boondoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder allan Posted July 30, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 30, 2009 You can help by making sure you have contacted all health care providers you've had in the past & get copies of your medical records, "before" your C&P exams are ordered. If you have lung issues, you will need to see a respiratory specialist. If you have spinal issues, you'll need to see an orthopedic specialist. Thats the way it should work. They had a nurse do all of my C&P general medical exams including neuromuscular disorder. She didn't even look at my xrays or lab results & couldn't figure out how to write an opinion. So another C&P was ordered. When this came back fully favorable, the VARO rater ordered an IMO without examination & of course this wasn't favorable. When I had my family Dr look over my C-file & give an opinion, the VARO & BVA completely ignored it. Don't wait for the VA. Get all your past medical records together & sift through them for anything that will help your claim. If it's not in your c-file "before" the VARO orders your C&P, then it won't be a part of the record & considered by the C&P examiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Does one C&P Doctor cover all areas? Hearing has to be done by Audiolog. Tinnitus has to be done by either Audiology or Neurology. Eye Disease and Vision has to be done by an Optomotrist or Opthamologist. Mental Health has to be done by Psychiatrist or Psychologist. Respiratory illnesses must usually include PFT tests. New Regs for TBI as of Oct 2008: TBI has to be done by Psychiatrist / Psychologist / Neurologist. Everything else can be done by a Nurse, ARNP or PA - but is supposed to be signed off on by a doctor. carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
