Question
Phild523
I was just wondering how much weight a rater gives to the results of a c&p exam. I have heard people say that if an examiner gives you at least as likely as not that you are service connected for that issue under the cfr. Others have said that the rater does not have to go by that and only uses the exam as a piece of evidence. In my situation I have been sent to two initial tbi c&p exams each time with the examiner saying at least as likely as not. I also went to a C&p for PTSD which I received due to or resulting from. Then the cp examiner for ptsd was asked for a medical opinion in which she said at least as likely as not.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks for your input.

Bronc said it best; but "at least as likely as not" won't do it by itself if you don't have the other two parts i.e. diagnosis and in-service event. Must have all three.

Have you been denied in such a case? If so I would file an HLR appeal. If this does not get results you would have to go to the BVA. That is where buck52 says the problems with the VA and deni
