Hey all. You guys were amazing and so helpful when I went through my last C&P exam so I figured I would try my luck again.
Short story is I was medboarded out in 2004 for a rather nastu ankle fracture that was misdiagnosed as a sprain for 2 months at Fort Gordon. So i was reading through my most recent c&p expecting it to be tanked again and he closed the report with
"Upon review of this case, it becomes apparent that the multiple joint complains while AD are consistent with Rheumatoid arthritis even though it wasn't diagnosed on active duty. This is conformed by records reviewed by DOCTOR DOCTOR dated 3/16/18.
Veteran has been seen and evaluated by an outside rheumatologist and hasbeen diagnosed. Treatment started in 2018"
He was only doing a knee and ankle c&p and he mentioned both hips, feet, ankles, knees, etc. So I'm shocked. Does this mean what I think it does?

I cannot stress how important it is to have a doctor state it is more than likely than not that your RA is related to your ankle injury that occurred in service. If he is out for your best interests

It would be good if we could see the whole letter, redacted of course. If a C&P doctor wrote this it might mean that you would be eligible for benefits.
