Strange C&p Exam Today?

[willidx4]

I had an exam for headaches,sinuses and both knees. The knee issues were both for increase from 0 and 10 percent. The Doctor never physically examined me for my sinuses at all, he also asked a just a few questions concerning the dates my headaches and sinus problems began. The knee examinations were over in less than a minute. The doctor had me hold onto a table and bend my right knee and bend my left knee. The doctors simply mentioned GW vets are given the benefit of the doubt concerning sinus and headaches as part of GWI not mention of my knees at all. I decide to leave well enough alone thanked him and left.

I have heard other vets mention these short C and P's for examinations. Maybe the doc already looked at your medical history and made up his mind?

I filed for an increase in DMII rating. There was no need for an exam. Everything was in my VA medical records to grant me 20%. The exam lasted about ten minutes. Some exams are very obvious and are based on a formula. I imagine for the knees it is all ROM. If the sinus and headaches are presumptive then only the degree of disability is in question.
