Proposed topic for a radio show

I am trying to learn the internal mechanisms that occur inside the VAMCs regarding the induction of claims and C&P exams. Also are there regulations that are supposed to be followed by the health care providers.

Evidentally there much be some kind of process in place, that the Health care providers follow, or are supposed to follow, that initiate claims.

For example. I was rated at zero percent for a service connected condition. I got very ill, sought treatment, got treatment, then at the end of treatment, the NP that was treating me, set up a C&P exam, inside the Va to get a higher comp rating.

I have also witnessed C*P examiners directly call the benefits branch of the VA from thier office.. So im positive that there is some kind of continuity,    what I want is a  concrete procedural flowchart of sorts, or explaination of how this  exactly it works. I have heard the term, INFERRED claims as well.

How does the healthcare provider, decide when and how to get involved in claims> and are they trained in this aspect.

Information gained or shared on this process, could get many veterans service connected, if there is indeed a  process governed by law, that is not being followed correctly.
