Question
mos1833
i noticed a few threads about c/p exams,and what should be review.in my case the reviewed material seemed to be a chance to seal the deal to denie. to me i lost years of progress reports and treatment material in my claims file,because of my claiming service connection.
below is what iam up against----did they review the material or just rule against it due to me saying i have had pain since seperation,( lay )
hears a slap in the face
The Board has also considered multiple outpatient treatment
records showing on-going treatment for low back pain since
the late 1990s. While the veteran related his pain to an in-
service injury, the Board is not obligated to accept the
veteran's recitation of the facts. See Godfrey v. Brown, 8
Vet. App. 113 (1995). While recognizing that the veteran has
been diagnosed with a current low back disorder, the Board
places less probative weight on this evidence as the issue of
a causal relationship between his symptoms and current
diagnosis were either not addressed or appeared to be based
wholly upon statements of past medical history provided by
the veteran. The Board, however, is not bound to accept such
statements simply because treating medical providers have
done so. Wilson v. Derwinski, 2 Vet. App. 614 (1992); Wood
v. Derwinski, 1 Vet. App. 190, reconsideration denied, 1 Vet.
App. 406 (1991).
