C An P Exam

[walt]

Good Morning and Thank you Everyone. Can I dispute part of the c and p before the claim is decided? Also do you see anything favorable in this ..Restatement of opinion request.indevidual employability.other pertinent information or comments from requesting office:The records of recent treatment for all of the veterans conditions shows that he has diagnoses of copd,cad,htn,hld,pats,osa,prostate cancer,and cronic Anxiety.Were private records review?..NO Were service medical records reviewed? NO.. Were veterans administration records reviewed? YES Pertinent evidence: Current treatment records for the various conditions none are sc at this time.Were other recods reviewed ? NO Opinion:The veteran has not worked for several years and there is no good record of work capacity.It seems likely that the combination of the veterans medical problems confines the veteran to sendentary work,such as using a computer.(I. can on ly hunt and peck with one finger!) I am un able to determine the extent of his chronic anxiety as a contributor to inability to work. Rationale for opinipn given: None pertinent. Other comment:This opinion is based on the review of the overall VA medical records. This focused review for lbp and o/a Thumbs does not necessarily encompass an assessment of all theveterans conditions. I am 65 years old and started drawing the pension at 100% seven years ago at age 58. Thank you for your help Walt.

Yes you can send in a 4138 and contest the C&P. The examiner is stating you can work a job at a computer in an office setting. You may have said something someplace how you are on the internet with your computer. So you will need to enplane you may use a computer a little but you do not know how to type and them tell them your style. Then that no one hires some one that types 4 words a minutes. I know my wife hires and places them all of the time. We need them at 55+ after the error factors.

since this is a re-exam on your IU and you have the benefits now, they do not have to look at all of the records like they did to grant SC for something.

Thank you sir for your help.He did ask me what I did and I told him nothing but work in garden and on computer.I do not even type 4 words it seems. I have spent as much as two hours trying to give some enough info to use to help me and then somehow I lose it all.I am no computer literate.anyway,Thank you. Good Day to you.

What are you service connected for? Are you getting social security? Do you see a private doctor or just VA docs. It would be great if your primary care doc can write something saying that you can't work due to your S/C disabilities.

Good Morning and Thank you.No, I am not service connected yet.That is what I am trying to do. No Question about the conditions ,just getting enough sc. I think what they are trying to do is grant tdiu.Claim has been open this time since Feb I see mostly va doctors and do see a local DR. at the local clinic. She is in process of writing an IMO concerning the Anxiety.I have a letter from a former co worker that witnesed one of the first anxiety attacks back in the mid seventies while at work one day in the hospital OR.He went on to Medical school after discharge and is now a DR. He wrote me what I think is an excellent letter and used the word,"chronic anxiety" about seven times.Then what smr's I have list chronic anxiety over and over and show diagnosis of and treatment for it.No I do not get ss because I get the va pension and it is more than the ss. I spoke with my primary DR. yesterday and she is going to put into my records info about me and my conditions and then I can go to release of info and get them. There is a cfr that explains that I think and I have it somewhere but am having trouble finding it.Thank you for your service and any more advice will be truly appreciated.....Walt

We have ESP John-my question too.

Walt you need an inservice nexus for every disability you claim.

If you are an incountry Vietnam vet some of these disabilities you mentioned are presumptive to AO( possibly the CAD and the Prostate cancer)

The nexus for them is established by proof of incountry Vietnam service.

The nexus for the rest is the link or cause to the condition you have now as it relates to your military service.

Or claimed as secondary to any SC or presumptive SC.

Do you have your complete SMRs?

Have you formally filed any claims?Have you received a VCAA letter yet?

You can get copies of your VA med recs from the VAMC which treats you.

SSA might still have your military SMRs.

The VA, upon knowing you have had private records, will obtain them with your written consent.
