jamesriley1990 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 So I just had my C&P exam for PTSD, and I was wondering do I have to request the results from the contractor (LHI) or the VA? I am curious on the timeframe because I requested my C-File back in January and it wont be finished until June 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Patton Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It should be included in your C-File when you get it. I had requested my C-File before going to a C&P Exam with LHI. When I got a copy of my C-File it was included. I had requested a copy of the C&P results from LHI, but never received a copy from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get my C&P's after LHI and QTC did them I had to go the VA Benefits office and file a request. I think they were FOIA's. If you have updated info please share. I need mine but since I am in a wheelchair right now from surgery, live on a hill and my car was totaled, I am a bit limited in being able to get to the VA Benefits office. I cannot get to a bus stop, and frankly an Uber up and back would end up being a 100 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried to search the blue button and no luck. So you would need to ask the day you are there. GeekySquid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not aware that simply asking for a mailed copy from the contracted company on the day of the exam would get us the DBQ results directly from them. Did you also get a full report from the Doctor? or just the filled out DBQ? Thank you for that info. I will try it on my next C&P exam. I expect to have one ordered in the near future. As to the Blue Button, and this is just info if you did not already know it, C&P's NOT performed at the VA, in other words those done by outside contractors, will never appear in Blue Button unless VA changes its own rules again. Blue Button, as it stands, is designed and focused on Medical Records created at the VA itself. You can upload other non-va records, but only VAMC has the ability to upload to Blue Button, VABenefits cannot. A C&P done by an outside contractor is not a VAMC and by their current logic does not need to be in Blue Button. We all probably disagree with that logic, but it is what it is.

@GeekySquid So I had a similar experience at my VA doctors office asking for FMLA paperwork and they printed off a copy right on the spot and gave it back to me. They did have me sign a FOIA (that th

Wow, I'll have to keep this in mind. I tried to get c&p results back in 2017 from QTC after my c&p exam and I was told I had to request it from my RO that ordered the exam.
