Question
carlie
This is from a BVA decision and clearly shows how the VA views
it when a claimant misses a scheduled C & P examination.
The Veteran was scheduled for a VA examination in connection with his claim for an increased rating for his residuals of
s/p circumcision. However, the Veteran did not attend his examination and declined to be rescheduled for an examination.
The Board emphasizes that it is well established that the duty to assist is not always a one way street.
A Veteran seeking help cannot passively wait for it in those circumstances where he may or should have information that is essential in obtaining putative evidence.
See Wood v. Derwinski, 1 Vet. App. 190, 193 (1991). Insofar as the Veteran failed to report for his examination and indicated that he was unwilling to attend an
examination, the Board is of the opinion that no further assistance is required in this regard.
Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.
