Ratings Exam

[nbll01]

I just got back from a ratings exam at the Phoenix VA with a ratings Doctor. Is this the last step in this long ordeal? Really want to hear from others that have already been there? Seemed like all the info he entered into the questionaire/ Survey in the computer favored my claim tremendously....OR.....is this gonna be another stop alongthe way in this already 6 year journey?? any info is appreciated Thanks

manning....believe it or not that Dr (very old guy) is 90 years old. I see him just about every time I had a C&P exam. One thing I learned from him is, if he wants to hear you talk, it better be just the answer of the question he asks, or else you'll just as well talk to the walls. Although he's old school in his mannerism, he also knows what it takes for higher ratings. I've had 4 C&Ps with him and each time ended with a higher rating. My last one ended up 100% IU. Don't let his age fool you, he really is on top of the game.

His last name starts with a K

Yes Thats the Doc I saw (starts with a K) and you couldnt be more right about what he wants to hear. I had to laugh when you said that, It was like he switched his ears off if I went into any detail he wasnt interested in..lol

I also feel a great sense of relief hearing hes on his game, it seemed like it went well for me with all he entered and talked about (fingers crossed). Thanks

I wish I had Dr K from what you say the examiner that messed me all up was Dr. I and the examiner I have coming up on Oct 24th is Dr. B. Did you ever have Dr. B for an exam in the topaz clinic? I know Dr. B is 76yrs old at least what it says on google and the other Dr. I is in his 80's from what I seen. Wonder why all the older docs are working in there? Funny when I watched Dr. I try to type things in the computers I got a good laugh. All he kept saying is about all this new technology etc.

You know I saw a doctor at my VA when I got out of the Army in 1971. He was a shrink. He did not like me and he showed it on my rating. I went back to the same VA 35 years later and he was still there screwing over vets. My lawyer attacked his evalulation of my on many levels.
