I'm just wondering, why would there be a need for a medical opinion about one of my C&P exams? Does this mean a separate medical opinion or just more information from the person that provided the opinion?

Thanks,

Amanda

I had one C&P Exam that they had to send back as the report was incomplete and another which should have been sent back for clarification but wasn't. Instead, the rater just guessed about the medical information. Now I get to claim CUE.
