Question

I’ve done the VA claim-bit on my own. I don’t know if this is a mistake or not.
I went to a c&p exam recently. I left somewhat confused. I never had a doctor tell me directly that she was recommending an increase as well as IU. She said though it was ultimately up to the rater. I don’t have her report because 30 days has not passed. I was at 50% for ptsd and 10% hearing loss. During the appointment the c&p doctor quoted a couple other reports where VA doctors I’ve seen at various clinics said that I had “long term, chronic and severe...” (Don’t want to get into the what). I find myself now obsessing if:
1. The c&p dr was lying to about her recommendations;
2. The c&p dr was telling the truth about the recommendations;
3. The rater will decrease my %
4. The rater will increase my%
Ultimately it boils down to: How much weight does the rater put into the C&P dr recommendations? Could I really get IU if that dr did actually recommend it? what are the chances? The IU could help a lot, I’ve not been able to work much the past few years.

Your answer is, your guess is about as good as ours. The VA raters are supposed to go with the recommendations provided by the C&P. As for the weight of evidence, typically the more detail so

I have to go with awgv001's advice to get a hobby. You will drive yourself crazy trying to figure out what the VA will do in a given instance. Most rating doctors are honest about what they are goin

Great advice above, as stated as above know one knows or can tell what VA will do until it is written in ink and you have your decision letter. Yes, the bottom line is that the VARO will actually mak
