DMQ- Does it Help?

[Johhny_Drama]

I have denied a claim for increase on headaches and feet. After reading the BBE I see that they are asking for specifics so for headaches it pretty much asks how bad are they, are you on meds. After meeting with a neurologist and they can see that I have had scans done (This is very nice BTW) and obtain copies but anyways he prescribed a medication and said that it sounds like the majority of my headaches are classified as tension headaches. I printed out a DMQ as I have read a little on this and it basically says you should let your doctor complete as this is the same questions the VA ask during a CandP.

Questions are, is this correct? Is this a beneficial deal for us to start having our docs do this? I plan on doing the same with my feet as i was denied because i was not subscribed freaking inserts. The doc said you can buy these etc etc but VA wants the verbiage that soldier was required to be fitted with said items. After a 2 plus year shenanigans, I am trying to nip this in the bud and get my claim approved. BTW when the neuro doc saw the forms he was like OMG I hate these but he said he would fill out and was very cool after the a few min.. Thanks all

Documentation is the veteran's friend.  If you can get your doctors to fill these out then by all means do.  Might I suggest you start a headache diary.  There are many available on the internet, they give your doctor a visual representation of your headaches, I used them for mine when I lost my job due to headaches and the mental acuity lost over the medications prescribed.
