VetsLady Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 In layman's terms or VA "speakage" - what does "promulgate an award' mean.....???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetsLady Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Congrats on the BVA win! Was there any remanded issues, or only the one for sc? Also, did the BVA grant a percentage? If not, then you will probably have to undergo a C&P exam to determine the severity of the disability (in order to assign a percentage). Either way, you are now SC'd which is the "hard" part of the claim. Again, a big congratulations coming your way! Gardener You were spot on with this posts Gardner. Just found out RO is going to "need" a C&P exam to determine the percentage of disability. Crazy thing is, his medrecs show every bit of what he is disabled and the degree of disability. The RO is missing 3 doctor visits chart ntoes from this year out of 7 1/2 years worth of medrecs. Anyone have a thought as to why they want an exam...? Could it be that now that he is sc for this condition, there could be secondaries he is entitled to ? It's really hard to wrap our brain around this one....after such a long, long battle......what's another couple months ? Definetly want to be sure he gets a proper rating but, still it's so disappointing and heartwrenching after all this time....you prove without a shadow of a doubt that you were injured and incurred a disease/illness/injury due to service to our wonderful country and SLAM...sorry sir, you need an exam to determine a proper rating. I get it, it's just difficult and his illness is chronic so perhaps alot of the frustration is pent up fear of the unknown. Thoughts are welcome. If it were me, I'd say...."Be patient and good things will come".....but, when it's happening to you, it's hard. Really, really hard.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Q) Anyone have a thought as to why they want an exam...? A) To ascertain the current level of disability - with the medical evidence of record,you might end up having some staged ratings. Q) Could it be that now that he is sc for this condition, there could be secondaries he is entitled to ? A) - No - secondary conditions would need to be claimed first.

HadIt.com Elder Chuck75 Posted August 25, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 25, 2010 The RO can possibly accomplish two goals with a C&P. Most important, DELAY when the evidence is irrefutable. Next, C&Ps are known as an attempt to minimize or give a countering opinion to favorable medical records. The RO will automatically take the "unbiased" (Hah!) C&P results as definitive, even when the C&P examiner (Nurse, PA,etc) and possibly the "reviewing" doctor is/are not medically qualified in the appropriate specialty. Frequently, the unfavorable C&P results will be used, and force a veteran into the appeals process. This adds years of additional delay, and if the veteran makes any procedural mistakes, quite possibly eliminate compensation completely. You were spot on with this posts Gardner.

We have been through the appeals process already...The BVA granted his claim and sc the condition. Now what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
