Was granted 30% for scar as a result of surgery for adenocycstic carcinoma. Surgery was radical neck dissection - which left me with limited range of motion of my right arm (due to shoulder muscles being removed). Attempted to bring this up at my C&P exam but the doctor didn't do anything about it.
Can I request another C&P exam for limited motion? If so, how would that request be made? Or,
do I need to appeal via a NOD stating that the doctor should have tested me for range of motion?

You know your VA has the ability to write a perfect secondary condition opinion if they choose to do it. My PCP did if for me a few years ago when I wanted her to help me connect heart condition to D
