I just got copies of my 2nd set of C&P exams for increase. The VA would not allow release of these C&p's until the DRO made his decision. I have not received any award letter as of yet.(1st round was thrown out due to incompentent N.P who was fired. Thanks Berta)

I have looked over it and I don't know where exactly to go.
Special adaptive housing (one of my 16 claims on this report)
The dr said, "Reguarding entitelment for adaptive housing, the veteran was able to amblate without the cane, but had great difficulty in doing so. In this regard, it seams the veteran has the necessity for regular and constant locomotion by other methods may be possible (what is he saying, that I may need a wheel chair soon?)
What is your guys take on these two issues? I have many othersincluding them referencing Dr. Bash's IME. Thank you all so much for your help. God bless you all. Keep fighting!
