Question
IMEF-Gunny
C&P exam performed, unfavorable, but many contradictions, claim went to prep for decision. I rebutted and shot holes in the Dr's opinion/rationale by quoting/ stating regulations/ laws and bringing up the fact that he changed my diagnosis from that of my local VAMC, said it was pre-existing, but did not address whether it was aggrivated by service.
Claim went back to gathering evidence.request 2 came out, which was a request to the same Dr for an opinion as to aggrivation. Again Dr stood his ground, but clearly contradicted himself. Claim immediately went back to prep for decision.
Again, I rebutted and shot holes in his response, quoting regulations/ laws and quoting past appeals findings in regard to similar cases.
Claim went back to gathering evidence.
Monday, still gathering evidence, but reading requested docs past due. called Peggy, no information needed.
Tuesday my claim moved to prep for decision again and showing new Request 3 - No longer needed, under which it reads Secondary Action Required.
Now, I will assume that this , although under the header "Required from You", is an internal request requesting additional oversight from someone.....likely because I'm a pain in the ass that keeps throwing wrenches into the C&P docs babble, quoting regs/ excerpts from VA training manuals and past appeals decisions, and their the Dr clearly (even to a complete idiot like myself) destroys his own arguments with contradictory statements.
So, my question is, from the much more experienced folks here that have spent time in the VA's offices......is the "Secondary Action Needed" likely an internal request for close scrutiny? Peggy said it was saying it needed a second signature, but I'm assuming not for retro , but for dotting I's and T's?
As always, any input is appreciated!
