Hello All,
I recently submitted a claim for Sleep Apnea secondary to depressive disorder on Friday (1/25). Along with submitting the claim I submitted and IMO from a non-VA doctor. Today Tuesday 1/29 got a call to schedule my C&P. (World Record to me) Was wondering if anyone else thought this was weird and they also said that my C&P exam was going to be conducted with a Primary Physician not a Sleep Specialist. I also just thought about it. I didn't submit a DBQ with my initial claim. Could this be the reason? Just seemed off I'm not going to a specialist.

Wow! What are the odds? Now you have more added weight to your claim.

I would try request your case be sent to the BVA. It seems that the HLR is just a higher level of denial lane to me.
