Question
20yearsandforgotten
Asking for clarification: I thought the purpose for a medical opinion is to determine service connection.
In 2008 I retired with 20 years and did the BDD program while in Germany. I was given service connection for three issues at 0% each.
I immediately sent in my NOD and like most it was never received. Eventually I got it in and in 2009 got my appeal in. I had my date with the BVA and a VLJ, remaneded in 2010 for further development (C&P) for an increase in the three issues as the previous C&P was inadequate. I have been to two C&P's since: one terrible, one favorable. The 800 number said decision made waiting for 2nd signature then a week later said deferred, and now they say records transferred to VA medical center for a medical opinion/examination.
Anyone know why a medical opinion would be needed when service connection has already been established?
Doesn't sound good to me.
