I got a call today from the hearing officer on my NOD. The hearing officer asked if I wanted to get another C&P exam in lieu of having to go through the process of a hearing for an increase on my claim. Seems that there are many claims waiting for appeal. If my new C&P exam warrants a higher rating then that would eliminate waiting for a hearing.I checked with my VSO and he said to go ahead and let the VA schedule another C&P exam and if the VA does not allow a higher rating then we could again proceed with the NOD. I told the VA to go ahead and schedule the C&P exam. I hope that this works out in my favor and eliminate the longer waiting period for a hearing. I am 10% for depression and hope to get it increased. Anyone have input on this?
