FNG here. 30% SC for HTN, has gotten worse, heart problems, and chronic micro vascular disease, diastolic dysfunction stage 2, so why am I scheduled for a mental health exam as well as another c & p exam, and ekg-to measure ejection fraction? My claim was filed over one year ago, now a sudden flurry of tests from the VA. Called them and was told all claims over one year old are on fast track.

Welcome.

I split your post off from the OP's.

Ok, so where is it now?

Your post is right here in this thread.

Exams are scheduled to help determine SC and or current level of disability.

Thanks, but why the mental health exam?

Maybe w/all that you have going on they think you're probably depressed and are checking that??

Welcome to the board.

My initial claim was about 14 months old when I finally got my first C&P. About 3 months later I got a decision. My second claim was about 9 months old before I was given a C&P which is where I am now, waiting for a decision.

I look at any movement on my claim, especially getting a C&P as positive so you might be getting a decision soon thereafter.

I can’t comment on MH exams because I don’t know.
