I got a call today from VBA to schedule another C&P exam. When I asked what the exams were for, he said they were for my requested increases for arthritis and sleep apnea. The funny thing is, I have never filed a claim or an increase for either one of those things. In fact, I've been examined at a previous C&P as well as by a rheumatologist for arthritis (because I have pain that is similar but I lack any signs of inflammation). After both exams and a battery of blood tests, they both reported that there were no findings in my lab reports that indicated I have arthritis.
I have a NOD in for insomnia as a sleep disorder for connection under the Gulf War presumptives. I never mentioned sleep apnea. My neurologist *suggested* I might have sleep apnea and sent me to a sleep study. That was just a few days ago and they said I had very little problem with my breathing during sleep.
In both cases, I have already had recent exams done by specialists and they haven't found arthritis or sleep apnea. I don't understand why I would have another C&P exam for things that they already know are going to be negative since they have full access to my medical records.
Is it normal for the raters to just pull things out of......thin air....and create a claim on my behalf? Am I missing something here???
