I wouldnt worry too much you are not going to see him to seek treatment but to have him check very specific things on a sheet and write yes or no for the most part.

It says she is internal medicine so its not MH but a physical condition.

If you are on hadit already im sure you are 10x better off than i was when i first filed. Make sure that you have good evidence from private phsyicians if possible get sworn affidavits from yourself, friends, family, boss etc as to how this affects you adversely.

Dont worry about the exam, go in there tell them the answers to their questions, tell them how it feels on your worst day, not your best, your worst. This isnt lying its telling the truth to the actual question they are asking. They ask how you are today, pain level, all that but what they mean is whats it normally like. they dont ask you that, because they want you to say "im ok right now" which ends up reading on the sheet "veteran reports little to no pain associated with ____"

let this Doc do her thing and then see how it goes. If they are bad and adversarial, dont become angry with them or yell, calmly answer questions and if they are mean, inapropriate, etc file a complaint. if they are just terse and not listening to you then wait until the results come and the rating decision is made. if its bad then most likely its because the C&P exam were bad. within 3 days (by their set standard, more likely a week or so) you should be able to view the exam notes and dbq on your MyHealtheVet Blue button. If it doesnt read like how you explained to them etc. File a NOD and request a new exam (with a new examiner) and a hearing with the DRO.

But dont freak out, it will be fine. It will be how it is going to be, you cant change that, all you can do is be patient, wait, read the results and then figure out your next move.

70% - PTSD

->50% - OSA (Secondary to PTSD)

30% - Bilateral Pes Planus w/Plantar Fasciitis

30% - Migraines

10% - Tinnitus

20% - Back

0% - bilateral shin splints

The way to counter a bad c&p exam is wait until you get a copy and hire a IME doctor of your own. You should not trust the VA to give you the correct rating using just their hired guns. The doctor you see at your exam does not determine you rating but they are very important. You need to see the copy of the exam after it is done. This is not always easy.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
