Question
Fat
My neighbor finally received a date for his C&P exam (sinusitis). He got all of his private treatment records together and forwarded the information to the VSO. He had a CT Scan in 2012 and recently had a X-Ray in March of 2014. Both showed mucosal thickening in the frontal (2012), sphenoid (2012), and ethmoid (2014) sinuses. He is trying to service connect through continuity of care since his service medical records don't list the disease as "chronic". His private doctor wont provide a nexus or do a DBQ form. He stated, "its not possible to say if a two bouts of sinusitis in 2006 are connected to his current sinus problems". He discharged in 2007 from the Navy. His current treatment records show steady treatment since 2009 for sinusitis problems. He was treated with antibiotics. Is he on the right track and what should he expect at the exam?

I thinks veterans are misinformed or not informed to be cognizant with post military health records. He may have very well attempted to treat the issue with saline nose wash, sinus pills, and other OT
