Question
Infantry1985
Just got back from my C&P exam for Secondary GERD and Secondary Hypertension that lasted all of about 15 min with a NP at Hines. She seemed to be a little ruff around the edges at first, then we somehow go on the conversation of the oxygen generating plants in her office which seemed to perk her up. She only asked a few questions: For both - Was I diagnosed in service?, was I diagnosed at the VA?, do I still have symptoms?, only treated at VA?. For GERD only - Did I have a upper GI? That was it..... Never deep dived into symptoms, but did shake her head at the end and tell me that my pulse was consistently extremely high and that the doctors should have been prescribing me a beta blocker..... After that, and about 15 minutes she said your done and good luck with your service connection. I've had plenty of exams with Docs, but never a NP for C&P; so I'm kind of just still in shock... I guess we shall see!

I suggest you not wait for the decision, but instead go to your release of information at your VAMC and read what your C and P examiner said. Then you will know if its a favorable exam or not.

Thanks for the heads up Vync! I'm anxious to see how it plays out due to how fast and the lack of detail that was given in the symptoms. My ebenefits was updated this morning with prep for decision, s
