Question
Greg88
Since I have my C&P exam coming up in a few weeks and it seems like no one at the VA has looked at my medical records, I've decided to include a nexus type letter said that the C&P examiner knows what's going on. The VA has decided to look at the areas that they deemed responsible for my hundred percent disability, I've been at 100% for 14.9 years I've been service-connected for the last 36. I know that a nexus letter is usually used to establish service connection, but since I have not used the VA medical system for the last 15 years and no one seems to have looked at my private MDs medical records, I thought this would help speed things up and I have an appointment with my private M.D. a few days before the exams. I received 100% disability because of my diabetes mellitus Type 1 and the associated complication of neuropathy and labile diabetes, my private MDs notes all indicate worsening of my neuropathy and my diabetes which he lists as uncontrolled, but since I was rated 100% other complications of diabetes have popped up, such as hypertension, ED, and depression. I know that a nexus type letter should be short and sweet and by focusing on the things that made them rate me at 100%would help the process, but the VA also included in the letter that they sent me complications that have popped up in my years before ( I used to the VA medical system for 21 years) 1997, they put into my letter that they were looking at proteinuria which I haven't had since 1989 and the VA doctor put me on a low protein diet. I'm just wondering what to put in this letter.
