C&p Exams 9/23 At Ves Clinic/i Am A Nervous Wreck!

[Navy04]

Good Morning Vets,

Next Tuesday I have my C&Ps at a VES Clinic, atleast that is what they called it. I am such a wreck because as you guys all know, we either draw the Civilians that respect the Military, or the Docs that think that all Vets should suck it up and stop using the Govt for "Free Money". I don't know what to think yet, as I have not had C&Ps with anyone other then the VAs. The guy that called me to make appointment, said that the Doc doing the exam is actually a General PA or NP, and I am not a fan of either as they are usually not experts in any field of Medicine. They also said that they have access to all my VA and Navy Records, but I am going to go ahead and get all my paperwork together this week, just in case. I know that I am always here to support all you guys, but boy after 2 Claims and over 15 C&P Exams already, the exams sure don't get any easier. Thanks for listening to me this morning, and God Bless.

The NPs in my last two C & P exams stated they were not provided with my claims file and both said they did not need the claims file. All of the questions related to my exams were on a questionnaire on the NP's computers. I had my own copies of my relevant medical records with me which were used by the NPs to complete their questionnaires. Although I was successful with both claims, I am not sure I would have been if the NPs had not reviewed the medical records I brought to the exams.

Thanks Georgia, that is why I am taking my record with me, even if it does weigh 10lbs, Lol. My wife will be with me, so I think it should be alright.

It is sad how most days I cant remember important stuff about my family, yet remember all the bad things that have happened over the last 10 years. Thank you guys very much for remembering to wish me good luck tomorrow, it truly means more than you could imagine.
