This is not really a question but just a summary of the exam I was given today for a remanded appeal. Mountain Home VAMC was the location of the exam. Dr. Belanger was the examiner, he was nice and easy to speak with. He also wanted very short and to the point answers and never let me talk freely. I assume he was only asking the questions that the VLJ wanted addressed for the remand. The exam was not at all what I thought it would be, they never are. It lasted roughly 30 minutes and at the end his stated his opinion, in which I was unable to work full or part time due to my headaches from my TBI. He then said that he signed the report and submitted it and that I could sign for a copy of the exam the next day. He thanked me for my service and sent me on my way. Now the wait begins for the appeal to fall before the VLJ again to make his final decision. Hoping for a favorable outcome.
I guess the Nashville VARO will make the decision not the VLJ who ordered the remand. Sorry for the mix up.
