I Am Leaning Toward This Cfa As Being My Cue

Question

§ 4.2 Interpretation of examination reports.

Different examiners, at different times, will not describe the same disability in the same language. Features of the disability which must have persisted unchanged may be overlooked or a change for the better or worse may not be accurately appreciated or described. It is the responsibility of the rating specialist to interpret reports of examination in the light of the whole recorded history, reconciling the various reports into a consistent picture so that the current rating may accurately reflect the elements of disability present. Each disability must be considered from the point of view of the veteran working or seeking work. If a diagnosis is not supported by the findings on the examination report or if the report does not contain sufficient detail, it is incumbent upon the rating board to return the report as inadequate for evaluation purposes.

[41 FR 11292, Mar. 18, 1976]

My entrance exam showed high frequency loss and my exit exam had notes written that stated unilateral hearing loss yet showed a perfect hearing exam with 5 10 and 15"s alway across!

I feel the rater should have question one how a high frequency loss of 55db going in could have improved in combat and a war zone? and how a examiner would opinion unilateral hearing loss when the scores showed excellent scores all the way across?

Thanks for the comment PR. In my induction exam it showed the high frequency but in my denial of 83/84 it so no sign of hearing loss in pre induction.

Then in my exit exam the doctor's note said unilateral hearing loss and otitis media but the report showed a almost perfect hearing test. Now I fully remember when getting out in 71 they were dumping a lot of us out giving early outs for school and stuff. The doctor examined me and then the tech came out and said I would have to stay probably two weeks longer to test further! At that point I said something sh--t and he said well you could sign a waiver and you can go. I did that and left. That was the big mistake of a 21 year old kid that wanted to get home.

Another thought when I file this CUE should I include all of the rules or cue item I feel they did not correctly imply in 83/84?

T do feel that other rules were not applied correctly at the RO at that denial.

Berta I have like zero luck getting my scanner to cooperate with posting my 83 decision I will try again later.

Was hoping to get this going very soon?
