Functional Capacity Evaluation

[Ace M]

Has anybody had this done in order to help with a claim, while i am not able to work doctors cant seem to find a reason why. I wanted to get this test done to prove that i cannot work. I am currently 30% but i spend 90% of my time in bed due to fatigue and muscle strength. If i have to pay for the test i think i am willing to do that.

I've never had a private one done  but VA will do there own  its called a C&P Exam.

you will need an in service condition and a Dr qualified  to read your medical records pertain to what your claiming and also examine  you & give his/her opinion on it and state it is likely as not this veterans medical condition is caused or related by his prior military service  to get it service connected.

 then you will need a Qualified Dr to state why you can't work due to your injury or disease from military service

you may want to check out VA Voc-Rehab  that's a good start.

I have had a C&P exam for my current issues last mth. I was finally diagnosed with fibro, i havent worked since 2009 when i was discharged and i was filing a new claim i wanted to have all the information to get a quick decision, i did go through voc rehab and they are giving me a denial letter.

So i figured with the denial letter and a letter from a functional capacity evaluation that would help me get TDIU. In my personal experience with C&P its a fairly quick test that uses ROM and that wont tell you if i cant lift things or do work.
