2 Weeks And Still No Cnp Report

Rate this question

Question

I did a TDIU CnP (at PM&R) on March 14 2011 and still no report in the system from ROI when I called them. I am confused/anxious/second guessing everything- as to the reaosns why the report is still not done. I had a General Medical exam on Sat 3/22 and the report was in the system that Monday and I got the print from ROI.

I know I probably am trying to read into it too much but is it taking so long becasue I just had a VA contractor install handles in the shower, provide and hook up toilet handles, and brought and put together the shower seat? Does the CnP doc need to see that these were installed to put on the report? About 99% of the time I have a VA doc's report from ROI within 24/48 hours BUT my CnP Doc REALLY went out of his way and broke the normal protocol and got me medical assit living services- ie new cane, shower handles, toilet handles and much much more. Do you think (I know anything could happen) he had to wait to type the report til after the home install stuff.

I am trying to be positive and remember how much the doc helped me out that day. Even the General Medical doc Cnp from Saturday March 12 2011-NOTE: One really good thing from the General CnP exam from this past Saturday the Doc wrote in Diagnosis a lot of helpful things to my case but one that I really hope helps that “The service connected disability of chronic lower back syndrome would render him unable to secure or maintain substantially gainful employment

Thanks for your help, the last 2 weeks not knowing sucked AND of couse after he's done the report I'll have to wait for VA toprocess/RATE the claim UUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely ,

Aquabear

Herein lies the problem with C&P results.

The C&P examiner states that a problem or condition is not related to an SC'd one, but does not state what the problem is caused by or related to.

If the condition might be related to the SC'd condition, and there is no evidence to the contrary, it's as likely as not that the condition is related.

Unfortunately, the C&P examiner is biased by training and direction to be quite negative.

You guys/gals ladies/gentlemen are great and offer sound advice for my posts and others. I hope one day I can offer someone the same sound advice.

John999, I got my hammer and chisel and will use ur directions to bring that mountain down- maybe I'll get a Catepillar and work faster!

Thanks Chuck75, I didn't think of looking at it that way. I can see your logic and man it got my head spinning at first! but its sound advice thanks.

Just finished my colonoscopy, glad its over, now to at rest and maybe call the VA and find out status although I know its still early :(((

Aquabear, from the results, it looks like right thigh/hip will be denied, and back will be increased. Your back could go from a 10% to a 40%. However, in re your IU ....are you only service-connected for back & left hip.thigh? If that'as the case, i think your overall evaluation will be about a 50%, so unless you meet some kind of extra-schedular requirement, which the service center manager will have to review, you don't qualify for a schedular entitlement to IU.

Thanks Veldrina. Not really the stuff I want to hear :( but your opinion is appreciated :)

It's been hard now, stressed, constant back,leg pain. I'm on SSD but it's peanuts - thank god my wife has a good job.

I am now at home stuck, have to call my VA counselor and withdraw from college/Voc Rehab cause can't focus and its the second semester having to do this, I also got blown with emotional downs when PTSD overtook my mind in September of last year but now at least the I can see the local Vet Center for counseling cause I am a Persian Gulf Vet.

Okay gotta get up off the couch, meditate for a bit then try to do house stuff so my wife can come home to a clean decent house.

Sad guy today.
