Long story short, jarhead retired after 20, hated going to sick call even if limbs were hanging on with a band aid, now a dependent. My questions are as follows...
1. How much weight is given to a Final Physical as far as evidence for a claim is given? (Doc wrote down quite a bit that I should of gone to med for but never did, i.e. knees (shattered left knee cap due to a basketball game for PT, ringing in the ears, broke left big toe, CTS, broken thumbs...)
2. I just received my "big brown envelope" asking me if I would like to present any more evidence for my claim before the VA attempts to rate me. I am a retired dependent and just had x-rays and MRI's done on my back and knees. The write up for the x-rays state bone spur's in my lower lumbar, DDD, and arthritis in my back but have not had a chance to do a report/write up on my MRIs. should I wait to include them or just have the VA rate me on what they have?
3. When will they schedule me for the C & P physicals?
Might sound like simple shit but I am clueless on this...
