Supplemental claim

[Troy Matthews]

Hi I called 1800 number to check status of my supplemental claim, they said it's in gathering of evidence phase, also said they asking regional office for internal review, I already took the c&p exam. Does anybody know what's an internal review for

I assume internal review could be for a number of reasons. When the C&P exams are sent to the regional office, they must be reviewed. If they are inadequate, they may be sent back to to the examiner be reworked or clarified. 

I searched M21-1 (VA's manual) for "internal review", but there was not a specific document associated with that term. I searched again, removing the quotes, and got a lot of results.
