C&p Percentage Scale

[diver]

Hello all I have a question for you. I had my C&P for my back increase, new sciatic, increase ankles, new MDD, & new hips secondary to my SC knees. The dr for the physical exam said he sees I am in pain. And the MDD exam lasted about 10 min for depression and anxiety, he asked me a couple of questions and then told me that he is going to get me out of here because there was no doubt that it is caused by my SC pain and he would make sure that I get rated for it.

My question is where can I find the criteria for each percentage scale [10%, 20%, 30% and so on] for the physical exams and where can I get a copy of the C&P exam notes for them. The MDD was at the VA hospital and the physical issues were a subcontracted dr.

Thanks Diver

diver,

Google 38 cfr 4 and find schedule of ratings for the different categories of medical conditions. VA rating officials use the schedule of ratings in 38 cfr 4 to determine the level of disability when rating a claimed medical condition.

Good luck and thank you for your service.

Does anyone know if you can still get your C&P results before the decision has been made and if so how can you get them?

My Social Worker pulled them up for me. I think you get them at ROI just like medical records.

diver,

If your C & P exams were performed at a VAMC, you can obtain a copy by completing VA form 10-5345 and submitting it to the medical records office at the VAMC. You can google VA form 10-5345 and print a copy of the form and hand deliver it to the medical records office or mail it. You can go to your VAMC website and find the mailing address for the medical records office.

Good luck to you.
