JeffG Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hello everyone, First of all thanks for all the great info and advice provided to Vets here. I am 90 % SC and in Dec 10 reopened my case. Most ove my problems were with back and legs. 40% for lumbar strain, DDD, peripheral neuropathy etc. I decided to apply for IVDS along with Sciatica, neuorgenci bladder and cerical mylopathy. I have read the training letter that VA has put out to physicians examining Vets claiming IVDS. Last week I went for my C & P exam with QTC doctor. I expected full exam per instructions listed in the letter. Instead I sat down answered a lot of questions about back problems and urinary problems but never got examined. My question is do I not rock the boat and say anything until I get the results. I'm afraid if I say anything I'll be rescheduled for exam. I got the impression from the doctor that he agreed with everything I was claiming. So I don't know if it was a good exam or not. Any advice would be appreciated.

JeffG Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Papa, Don't think I'll get the results for at least another month. Just had the exam on 5/4. I did request the results of the exam when I reopened my claim. Jeff Have you requested or gotten the results of the exam? Personally, I would wait until I saw the report.JMHO.

JeffG Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 John, I currently am working. Just got off 2 1/2 months disability due to femoral nerve compression. Finished up 8 weeks of PT. I want to try for scheduler first since I am still working although its been tough my first 2 weeks back. Are you working and trying to get 100% schedular? You have enough for TDIU if you can't work.

Question
JeffG
Hello everyone,
First of all thanks for all the great info and advice provided to Vets here. I am 90 % SC and in Dec 10 reopened my case.
Most ove my problems were with back and legs. 40% for lumbar strain, DDD, peripheral neuropathy etc. I decided to apply
for IVDS along with Sciatica, neuorgenci bladder and cerical mylopathy. I have read the training letter that VA has put out to
physicians examining Vets claiming IVDS. Last week I went for my C & P exam with QTC doctor. I expected full exam per instructions
listed in the letter. Instead I sat down answered a lot of questions about back problems and urinary problems but never got examined.
My question is do I not rock the boat and say anything until I get the results. I'm afraid if I say anything I'll be rescheduled for exam. I got the
impression from the doctor that he agreed with everything I was claiming. So I don't know if it was a good exam or not. Any advice would be
appreciated.
