Don't understand whar's happening with my FDC

[Lunchbox111]

In 2016 I received SC for lumbar strain (10%) and TBI (10%) and tension headaches secondary to the TBI (0%). In November 2019 I completed the intent to file and on March 26, 2020 I submitted an FDC for an inrease on headache and back and radiculopathy left and right legs secondary to the back. On April 2, VA Received and completed the initial review and on April 3rd I signed the form 5103 notice. A week and a half to two weeks ago I received a letter from the VA typed on April 3rd stating they were going to set me up for an exam. As of today va.gov says it's still in evidence gathering

Request 1

Exam Request - Processing

No longer needed

 

Does anyone know what this means? I'm just confused on whether or not I will be sent for an exam or if it means they no longer need it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Since I already did in person DBQs and QTC still isn’t seeing people face to face I’m now wondering if the C&P examiner will just go over my DBQs and verify what’s already in them, since they wouldn’t be able to do an accurate ROM test or accurately test for the radiculopathy

Hopefully, that’s what they do.

Anyone ever have a radiculopathy C&P? Any idea what they usually do for it?

Nerve conduction test or hammer tap sensation and poke test, among other things.

I hate nerve conduction tests.
