C&p' Scheduled - Round 2 Here We Go

[MarkInTexas]

Ok, here we go again. Got a call a few days back from a DRO at the Houston VARO. They are doing a de novo review of my case, and scheduled me for a series of C&P examinations, which will be my second round from the VA.

Sure enough, got a call from Veterans Evaluation Service, who advised that the VA had contracted them to do my C&P examinations and to do bloodwork. Looks I'll be heading to Houston for the examinations and Beaumont for a blood draw and CBC. (They used VES on me last time too.)

Keep in mind, I've been through a prior round of C&P examinations, but this is the first time with a CBC blood draw, and I have on file an independent medical examination and opinion report from the Ellis Clinic and an IMO from my oncologist of 17 years, along with a ton of medical records and SMRs.

We'll see how this goes. I'll keep y'all posted on what went on. Looks like I have the examination on July 18 (Saturday) and the blood draw on the 21st.

Thanks again, Buck! One thing I forgot to mention was that the NP said that he had not had a chance to review my file yet, due to it being extensive. He winked and said that he planned to spend the rest of the day reviewing it. Said that the VA had given him instructions to ask specific questions on each condition. I kind of thought that they read over the documentation and records prior to conducting the examination.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks, Andy!

Relax........

I'm sure the blood work is to confirm the condition and the 2nd part will be to notate the residuals from the disability.

One thing about this process is medical evidence of undeniable.

You will do fine...........

Thanks! I've been through VA-contracted C&P's and private IME/IMO's, but never had them ever go this far to do a CBC. I hope this means they are finally seriously looking at my conditions and evidence.
