C&P fiasco

[creek chub]

I had my C&P exam last Friday and reviewed the examiner’s notes today. The examiner made no mention of one of the conditions that I claimed for evaluation. Other concerns are he didn’t ask one question about pain or range of motion but said there isn’t pain or range of motion issues. 

I’m a VA employee at the facility that did the C&P exam, which I was always told should never happen. Mainly due the possibility of abuse of the process in favor of the veteran. Well, based off my experience the opposite happened. 

Any suggestions? I’m inclined to submit a statement to my file requesting a different examination due to obvious errors

One other detail regarding my C&P exam that I just noticed. My appoint was at 0900. I was called back right on time and was walking out his door at about 0915. I knew it was a fast exam and his digital signature states 0912. 

I used this detail in my NOD too. How can one really ascertain a proper diagnosis with a 15 minute exam against hours of private care notes and charts? My BVA judge was inclined to give me the benefit of the doubt (as if there was any to begin with).

My last C&P for Voiding Dysfunction was done by a GP who got his MD in Israel 6 years ago, never had a private practice and had been doing C&P exams for "1 to 5 years". He has no specialties except MST and in the front of his office by the reception desk is a typed sign that says

Remember your appointment includes the time the Dr has to review your medical files.

I am going to make the trek back to his office and photograph that sign and include it in my NOD against his decision.

That's a good idea GeekySquid...

I wish I had the presence of mind to snap that pic then but I had turned my phone off before entering the office. I am old fashioned on this. Having a cell phone going off or giving notifications during a meeting chaps my hide LOL.

Next time though I will not do that.

Well, right or wrong, I printed out me C&P exam notes today and highlighted areas where he falsified answers that he never asked me. I also noted his signature time of 12 minutes completing the exam and his notes. I then provided a state requesting another C&P prior to rendering a claim decision due to the quickness and errors of his exam. Probably a waste of time though

I've done that too.
