VA has scheduled a C&P from an outside VA facility contracted by VA. This is for major depression.
the letter from this outside VA facility states i shouldn't bring any medical documents with me as they will only review records sent to them by VA.
the letter also states their goal to "evaluate" the claimed conditions that have been requested by the VA. their examiner is "following strict instructions from the VA"
this is regarding major depression rating associated with MS.
note: i've been service connected for major depression for 24+ years.
a.) the navy listed it as secondary to chronic pain 24 years ago.
b.) the VA changed it to other weird labels over the years just after mil discharge,
now its back to major depression, secondary to MS
i'm surprized they contracted outside for this exam. i.e., they didn't do so for the other upcoming neck/lumbar C&P exam.
are these outside contractors sham-exams? what are my rights regarding these things?
