Sidney56 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I had a C&P exam Monday for mood disorder and thought the exam went quite well. The Doctor told me she would type up the results that day and get it to the VARO as soon as possible. I didn't think twice about this because I thought she would find out that my files were at the AMC and send the report there. I waited until today so as to give plenty of time according to her statement. I didn't really think that it would be handled that fast, but stranger things have happened. I called the FOI office to see if I could pick up a copy of the exam. I was told that the Doctor would not release a copy of the report until she sent it to Winston-Salem(RO) because that is who she was doing the exam for. I would have to get a copy from them. What a crock!! I didn't want my claim back at that place for anything. I called the 800# and was told that, yes my files were at the AMC but the exam would be sent back to the RO. I asked him who would rate the claim, RO or AMC and he started to stutter and replied,"either one can". Instead of saying I don't know. He said to write a letter requesting a copy of the exam from the RO and they would send a copy when they could get to it. Damn!!! One step forward and two back. I fought to get it out of the RO and now it is right back in their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator pacmanx1 Posted August 20, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2010 Don't worry just yet, keep in mind if you don't like the decision, your claim can still go back to BVA. My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions. Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up. I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a C&P exam Monday for mood disorder and thought the exam went
quite well. The Doctor told me she would type up the results that day
and get it to the VARO as soon as possible. I didn't think twice about
this because I thought she would find out that my files were at the
AMC and send the report there.
I waited until today so as to give plenty of time according to her
statement. I didn't really think that it would be handled that fast,
but stranger things have happened. I called the FOI office to see if
I could pick up a copy of the exam. I was told that the Doctor would not
release a copy of the report until she sent it to Winston-Salem(RO) because
that is who she was doing the exam for. I would have to get a copy from them.
What a crock!! I didn't want my claim back at that place for anything. I called
the 800# and was told that, yes my files were at the AMC but the exam would
be sent back to the RO. I asked him who would rate the claim, RO or AMC
and he started to stutter and replied,"either one can". Instead of saying
I don't know. He said to write a letter requesting a copy of the exam
from the RO and they would send a copy when they could get to it. Damn!!!
One step forward and two back. I fought to get it out of the RO and now it is
right back in their hands.
