My C&P exam doc for TDUI had all my records and did a thorough review of my entire background. Something doesn't seem right. I hope you fight that! Good luck and never give up!

Sorry I don't read text or shorthand!!! I'm sorry but "I feel" that anyone who can't take the time to write out a question, properly, for help, from a volunteer, doesn't deserve "my" valuable time, even though they are a veteran. Just sayin' . . .

Sorry to hear of your issues but without the actual exam notes or denial letter, just too hard to say either way. I will say that I have had over 30 C&Ps in the last 2 years, and the majority of the Exam Docs did not have all of my Records to look over, just used their medical opinion and the evidence that I took with me.

Sorry for the shorthand and text Phillip .I Did not mean to offend you . I am a mother of small children and was trying to ask the question quickly since I heard my infant wake up . I am not a veteran my husband is . I usually don't get more than two minutes to myself at a time .

From what I remember we were not allowed to bring any medical records . That was the policy. Only QTC was allowed to and supposed to provide the medical notes.

    • 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”
