C&P Exam

[Marinevet26]

Hello my fellow veterans! I wanted to ask this and maybe get the opinions of sone my fellow veterans. Anyway I had a C&P Exam on May 2nd.  I feel it went well.  At the end of the exam the doctor said to me, "You should be 100%, and I'm sorry you have to live the way I do" she said also if she couldn't push for 100%  she said 90% at the least.  I know she isn't a rater or makes those decisions, but is it a good or bad sign that she even said that? By the way I'm already rated at 60% and filed a claim for an increase.

Sounds good.  I think, however, I would wait until you see the exam, or, more importantly, the money in the bank.  Its certainly a positive sign, tho.

Well, it certainly doesn't hurt.

All it takes is an “as least as likely as not” from the examiner to make it all happen.

Bronc's advise is best: wait for the results in your letter. You don't say what you are rated at currently. If you were below 70%, you should also be considered for TDIU. Something to think about if you can no longer work. But, the examiner's comments do sound favorable. Good luck.

Of course its a good sign; however the doctor isn't a rater.

Wait for the envelope and get a copy of the C&P exam notes.

Maybe the doctor sheds extra light on further disability residuals.
