Good rainy morning everyone!
I have a claim in for an ankle problem secondary to my SC left knee. My ankle currently suffers from Ankle Impingement due to repeated sprains and in my MEPS exam it was noted that I had previously broken my ankle. My knee condition causes me to favor my right ankle. My MD and VA noted some limited ROM as well as instability. The doctor at the VA noted her opinion that it is LESS likely than not (<50%) that it is secondary to my left knee SC disability. I am kinda ok with that. Weeks later my claim moves to Pending Decision Approval for a few days then back to Review of Evidence then back to Gathering of Evidence. Weird but whatever. Then I see they want to schedule a C&P exam (Still have two open claims) and I figure it was related to that. It turns out, the VA is sending me to VES for a second C&P exam. I think they are requesting their medical opinion. This is where I am baffled. I thought since the VA Doc said LESS likely than not it would go quickly to a denial. I am confused about the second C&P for my ankle. The VA paperwork for the C&P exam is well documented and accurate. Thoughts on this? Good? Bad? Just getting support for the denial? thanks!!

Here is the salient takeaway. You NEED to get the DBQ, the Code Sheet, the Dr;s Notes AND most importantly the Letters/emails between the Examining company/Dr and VA. for both the first and that Secon

Thanks Buck, it is just too convoluted and can hurt the brain trying to unravel it all. I am not giving up this time until I beat the VA into submission HAHAHAHA
