Question

Hi all,

I am new here and have a quick question about my C&P exams. I have many, and can copy and paste them all here if need be, but they all state: Does the Veteran's wrist condition impact his or her ability to work? [] Yes [x ] No

Does that mean that I wont be rated for any of these conditions?

Not necessarily.

What matters is did the doc make a statement similar to, "the veterans wrist condition is at least as likely as not related to military service".

The second thing to look at is what boxes were checked off regarding the degree of disability. Then compare those to the rating schedule for your condition.

As NavyWife stated bud, you will have to post the Exam Reports on here, for us to give you a reasonable idea. Good luck and keep us posted

1. Medical history

------------------

Does the Veteran report recurrent tinnitus: Yes

Date and circumstances of onset of tinnitus: Veteran reports constant

bilateral tinnitus, left greater than right, described as a "ringing"

sound, onset in 2008 during deployment to Iraq.

2. Etiology of tinnitus

-----------------------

At least as likely as not (50% probability or greater) caused by or a result

of military noise exposure.

Rationale: Review of available service treatment records revealed the

notation "Subjective tinnitus" on a "Chronic Problems" list dated 5/21/13.

With service treatment records documentation showing diagnosis of tinnitus

during military service, it is this examiner's opinion that the veteran's

reported tinnitus is at least as likely as not related to his military

service.

3. Functional impact of tinnitus

--------------------------------

Does the Veteran's tinnitus impact ordinary conditions of daily life,

including ability to work: No

4. Remarks, if any, pertaining to tinnitus:

-------------------------------------------

CLAIMED CONDITION: TINNITUS

DIAGNOSIS: TINNITUS

RATIONALE: SERVICE TREATMENT RECORDS AND VETERAN'S REPORT AT THIS

C&P

EXAM

PROGNOSIS: GOOD

NOTE: VA may request additional medical information, including additional

examinations if necessary to complete VA's review of the Veteran's

application.
