PS bvalp, thanks for that info! It sounds GREAT!

Did you ever have a past denial for this disability that you never appealed? Prior to 2011 claim?

If so can you scan and attach the denial rationale and the Evidence list? It might be ripe for a CUE.

Cover C file # and name prior to scanning it.

Im convinced, Berta, the VA does not send us to c and p exams to get benefits, they send us their to PREVENT us from getting benefits.

That's definitely the way it feels sometimes. My last C&P was not required, but the VA sent me anyway. I had a good nexus letter from an endocrinologist for Cushing's, but the C&P doc was a cardiologist who complained that some specific tests were not done (which really didn't have much to do with it). The C&P doc did not even bother to try to do those test. The VARO denied and I am waiting on the appeal.

Filed originally in 1994, denied...and to be honest I swore at the time never to darken the VA clinic again...and didn't until years later...Anyway the VLJ referenced this claim and my failure to appeal with the law so it's over..however he did reopen my back claim I requested in 2011 due to new evidence.
