C&p Exam For The Third Time. Any Advice?

[SpcDearman]

I have exam 3 of my shoulder exams this month. I do not know why this is the 3rd C&P examination but I would greatly accept any ideas on this. This is the 3rd exam for bilateral shoulder injuries that I am claiming. Why would I be going to another one?

are you confusing clinic appts for physical therapy and then they changed their minds and said no as a C&P exam? C&P exams are not normally done in the clinics where they do physical therapy or see the surgeons for what they want to do, normally a C&P exam is done in the C&P clinic and it specifically states it is for a C&P exam

the reason I am asking is your statement . I went a second time due to Ortho setting an appointment. Nothing happened from this appointment. No continuing of PT or surgery or anything. I went in two weeks ago and asked for an Ortho specialist to start pHysical therapy again and this is what happens. Should I just assume that this is normal.

this would not be considered a C&P exam - That is whats so strange about all of this. I simply went in to my PCP and asked what happened to my Physical Therapy for my shoulder and here comes a C&P exam. I have my primary care in Dallas while all C&P's go to Ft.Worth. I did in September and they set my Physical Therapy in December? Really VA?

Unless they specialize in different things, my guess is the other exams weren't clear on the information needed.

I hope the rest of the process goes quickly for you!

I was due for a meeting so let me give a bit more information. I went for the first exam and was advised that everything is documented in my records. I went a second time due to Ortho setting an appointment. Nothing happened from this appointment. No continuing of PT or surgery or anything. I went in two weeks ago and asked for an Ortho specialist to start pHysical therapy again and this is what happens. Should I just assume that this is normal. DOT didnt you tell me that if the rater is unsure then this is probably why I have another C&P exam? I am not complaing but am confused as to why it takes 3 C&P exams to actually get this resolved.

3 exams can be construed as doctor shopping. Get an IMO and then get an attorney if you get denied.

Dont let it get you down.

I apologize for the delay. I am actually getting insurance (really cannot afford but the pain is getting unbearable) next month. Now keep in mind that my claim is waaaaaay down in country bumpkin Waco Texas. This is probably why there have been 3 c&p exams. My question is this. If i ask for these records arent I setting myself up for delay. ******Disclaimer**** Ebenefits updated me from review of evidence to prep for decision last weekend. My ortho appointment was last Thursday. I STILL HAVE ONE MORE C&P FOR NEXT MONTH. How can i be ready. Ebennies - you are a liar (you're a liar Herman Cain lol"
