Andyman73
Hello all, I am starting a new thread about my issue, I was dangerously close to hijacking somebody else's thread.
Background,
C&P exam, Nov 2nd, 2015 for depression secondary to chronic pain. DX as MDD reoccurant, with SI, in June of 2015, by VA MH dr. I asked him if depression can be caused by chronic pain, he said most definitely. Many depressed Vets have chronic pain issues. So then I filed the claim for depression secondary to chronic pain.
I fell down stairs during boot camp in 11/92. Many issues with back and knee pain from that point. VA SCd me for painful knee condition, bilateral. And Low back strain/pain, residual pain from L ankle injury, tinittus and hearing loss, all dated to my EAS of 11/98. So, now I have chronic established.
C&P examiner ignored all my evidence, and opined that one minor leg injury, in his opinion, can't lead to depression. I don't know how he, in is uninformed mind, can say that the other VA docs and ROs thought my one minor leg injury led to those contentions being SCd 17 years ago.
RO told me on the phone that she will not over rule the examiner, since he must know what he's talking about....so she willfully ignored my evidence as well.

Andyman73, have you considered obtaining an IMO to counter that idiot examiner? I know they can be expensive, but I do know of one IMO provider that WILL accept pretty much whatever monthly payment yo

Thanks, flores97, I appreciate it. I will check into a MH IMO/IME after I see my VA MH dr again. I'm waiting for the final results of my Neurological exam. That's really got me anxious, more so the w
