Submit consult in ebenefits or not

[jfrei]

So I had a recent medical consult report for my treatment and the doctor opinioned I suffer from severe residuals from my TBI as does my primary doctors notes say. I can print them scan them in with my wife and submit them into ebenefits under my new claim flagged with a hardship. I had two C&Ps that was just entered in my file on the 25th  one for my sTBI and the other PTSD. The report basically states what I'm having difficulty as far as no short term memory, audio recall no multi steps directions, other cognitive issues and she said it was severe TBI residuals. I don't and can't make my claim drag on but if I submit in this evidence I'm worried it will prolong my claim anyone suggest should i go ahead or don't? SSA is taking longer to get then I hoped but at least I have a hearing in December basically it's my age that cause the first two denials but once they found out I was P and T in July they scheduled a hearing two weeks later in December..:

Are you talking about a VA claim for benefits or SSA?

Sorry i submitted into my SSA appeal for December this question is for my open claim I have with the VA I was told they have recieved my 3 C&P exam results and should be moving along. I don't want to submit this in as an edition to the exams if it not needed I guess not knowing what's in the VES is kinda making me paranoid and anxious. On the other hand if they see the VA is already treating me and diagnosis still to this day is severe it could help with the C&P to show test results that were completed after my C&-P? But typing that just popped that idea in my head maybe I should submit the consult test since the review said I didn't have any tests to add other then the neuropsych in April.... This was a Ross Assessment for cognitive function and the results were severe.

Adding a new exam into the mix after your C&P exam is what you are talking about. This will kick the claim out of the FDC program, if it is in the FDC still. I would guess that if it directly relates to the VA Claim, then if there is a negative balance against the claim it might tilt it your way. Gotta say IF because we dont know the VES results. If its already in your favor, it will just slow it down. If not, it could add another 30-60 days or more to process. Its a judgement call you have to make. 

If they have a negative C&P it could go into appeals that would add years, so just out of safety, I would send it in.

I've been kicked out the FDC when the first doctor diagnosed me with the claimed issue but seperated from my TBI. So they put in requests for two more increase exams I didn't. There is no way there were trying to reduce me right after they made me Permanent and Total... It's been very confusing to me to say st the least especially since I am currently 90% IU PT (100%),

JF, I know it's easier said, but just let it play out. Getting your shorts in a knot won't help. You've been at this for a while, so you know how the game is played. VA Rater's have a step by step protocol to follow and they don't quite look at Calendars the same way Vet's do.

Do my old eyes a favor, every few sentences, do a line break, don't worry about paragraphs. It just makes it easier to read.

Experience is a strict taskmaster

It gives the test before the lesson

you should not fear the test

but wait until that "ah-ha" moment

when you understand the task
