Recently scheduled

[SPO]

Has anyone been scheduled for an in person C&P recently through one of the VA contractors even though VA facilities are closed?  Just wondering if all in person exams are on hold or just at VA facilities.

I've often wonder why they just don't go ahead and use the C&P Examiners report to rate the veteran ?  instead of passing the Buck to the rater...the C&P EXAMINER is a Dr and can be qualified to render a decision  in my opinion anyway  it would save a lot of time.

Basically, I think the reason the examiner doesn't do the rating is they are doctors or at least medical people. Some are pretty sharp; if a doctor got a medical degree even from Podunk University they aren't stupid.  But it is about layers; the more people that share in the decision process, the harder it is to put the blame on incompetency. So, if you start becoming more efficient by eliminating how many people touch a claim, you're going to make it a lot easier to determine who keeps making mistakes. In addition, I also believe that by and large doctors don't like the admin stuff, just the medical stuff. I think it would be even harder to get doctors employed if you increased their admin stuff. IMHO
