Is This Right

[unclejoe1]

I filed a claim in feb 09 just got off the phone with 1800 people at Va theytold me I had no exams scheudled that va docs were reviewing my medical records to write a medical opinion. Can someone tell me if this is good or bad.

I still stand by my previous statement. If the VA docs are in possession of qualitative medical records, both from outside and inside the VA that are very indicative of service-connection, I would still tend to say that this looks good for you. A C&P, under these circumstances, may not be necesary. Keep in mind, I'm not an expert, but it appears that your service medical records, VA records, and outside medical records tend to speak volumes about a service-connection. Again, I am assuming all of these records are in the VA docs possession, while deliberating your rating without need of a C&P.
