Va Called Me Yesterday At 6 Pm

[Pete53]

Last evening a nice lady called me and told me that she needed to verify my address cause I was being scheduled for a C&P within the next 2 weeks. I gave her my address and asked when the C&P would be and she aid she did not know her job was to make sure my address was correct for mail.

That's all she does is call Veterans to check their addresses. Amazing.

If anyone is curious I have asked the VA to reevaluate my service connected flat feet of 30% cause now I have knee and back problems.

Pete,

Gosh - I'd think she did something more than just verify addresses,

I wonder if that is for claims everywhere, that are being scheduled for C&P exams.

Good luck at your upcoming C&P.

I got it in the mail today my C&P is set for Aug 4th at 12 PM the hottest part of day.

Since it is for flat feet and secondary neck, hip and knee would a chiropractor IMO work here?

Its going to be a QTC Exam to boot.

Pete i see that you are 100% plus 30%, whats the point in trying to get an increase, when they only pay the 100% level, anything onto that is moot, less it is one of the special monthly compensation stuff like housebound and loss of a creative organ something like that

Pete..

That sounds like good news and bad news... the good news is that "you know its coming" and can prepare, but the bad news is that it is a QTC examiner. It might be a good idea for you to download and read the criteria..so you are prepared...you know, the 5 P's...Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.

The 5 P's has done well by me..when I followed them, things went well, when I did not..they predictably did not go so well.

I am not on top of things, but it sounds like you are going for SMC Housebound, Im guessing, if you reach 100 plus 60. I hope this works out well for you. Good luck on your C and P.

At my recent QTC exam I took all my service records for the conditions I was claiming and currant medical records.

On the letter they sent me prior to the appointment, it said not to bring "ANY" records, that the VARO will provide all that is needed.

Well, this examiner had nothing to view & took his time to look over everything I brought. He was quite surprized to see my claimed conditions on my separation examination and surprized to see surgery in my service records. Nothing was mentioned to him by the RO about it.

Take everything like your private IMO and service records you think will support your claim. This is exactly what the examiner needs to make an accurate determination as to your claim. Do not expect the VA, who does not want to pay benefits to anyone, to supply evidence to your claim.

Hope this helps. It's sure something I picked up on concerning evidence the VA does not supply QTC with.

You can bring all the records you have and then when you get the C&P exam copy if it looks good you don't have to do anything, but if it looks bad you can shop around for a doctor who will say these things are all related. You have nothing to lose. All the VA can do is deny the claims and then you can appeal. We have nothing but time.
