Iris Inquiry About Dro And Reopened Claim.

[Guest jstacy]

I received a Response this evening from The VARO Manager herself. She stated the DRO has already reviewed my claim and a claim to re-open. She said a medical opinion was being sought at my local VA medical Center.

Now I am confused for I had a C@P exam for the DRO review hearing because a medical opinion.

You can see the C@P result below as for an opinion.

This makes me think they are fishing for a negative opinion which I believe is in Viloation of the Regulations.

jstacy,

She said a medical opinion was being sought at my local VA medical Center.

Maybe they are trying to get your Primary Care doctor at the VAMC to give his medical opinion. The primary care doctor will carry the most weight/ then exam doctors/then opinion doctor( that is of course they all have similar credentials). Are you on good terms with your primary?

Just a thought of what they might be up to.....

I get along well with my primary Doc. That issue is not his job since the C@P doctor is a Internal med MD and has a specialty of Rahab Medicine / Occupational Medicine. Since the VA is set up on a How the disability effects the Vets ability to work, Then the C@P doctor should prevail. I may just be Paranoid but I smell a rat.

This is after I hit them with a cue claim and a letter to the VAIG on the Ro's previous actions.
