Combined Claim and no contact

Question

I posted the below question in another section and then thought I should have put it here so I apologize for the double post.

 

I have a combined claim in right now and I just had a C&P exam for one of the conditions recently so I KINDA thought I'd be getting one for my second claimed condition soon.  But today I noticed that my claim on the VA site says "your claim moved to preparation for notification".  Any idea why i never heard anything about my second claimed condition?  I thought I'd definitely get a C&P for that one because of the supporting documentation I submitted but so far have not.  Guessing the obvious would be that they didn't see enough evidence to warrant a C&P exam...or is it possible they had enough evidence and decided not to have me go have a C&P exam?

Shrek is on a roll.  C and P exams are at the VA's discretion.  You may already have all the evidence, OR, on the reverse side, a C and P wont be ordered "if there is no chance of substantiated your benefit claim".  Example:  You apply for benefits and you have no documentation of an in service event.  A C and P exam wont fix this, so your claim will be denied without a c and p exam.

I wanted to post a followup to my original post.  I never did get a C&P for my condition that I actually thought I would.  Turns out that one was denied but it also turns out that I got a nice surprise.  I filled a claim for both knees and my eyes (glaucoma) and was pretty sure the glaucoma claim would be favored because of the amount of documentation I have on it.  My knees had very little and as a matter of fact the rep I spoke with early on said that one would more than likely get denied due to lack of evidence.  Fast forward, I got denied for glaucoma and a Service Connected for both knees that I didn't think had a chance.  Funny how that works.

Thank you all for your help and guidance over the past months and answering all my questions.

Had this happen, even with evidence of in service event and treatment for all of 2016 -- still came back denied, and with no C&P either. --Now I'm armed with all caluza elements, and going in this week for DBQ's! That'll show 'em.
