Question
Guest jangrin
Hello,
We took the advise of those of you at Hadit and made some telephone calls regarding the C&P letters and what we thought were three C&P exams. We jumped the gun a bit about getting all upset and emotional in this. It turns out the following.
One of the appointments is to have his blood pressure and vitals taken-
1.this is at 2:00 pm (it could be that they need this info again for his Hypertension claim
2.at 2:30 he has a C&P exam for IBS he didn't file for IBS he filed for gastrointestinal distrubance idiology unknown-
because they didn't specify on the paperwork what the C&P was for - he called- they said IBS-
he actually added the gastrointestinal disturbance at the same time he filed for TDIU. This was a couple of months after he filed for the initial claim
I understand why they need a C&P-he was only treated once at the VA for this (MD said nerves) then we had to move-and he is still waiting to get in to see a doctor at our new home area (5 months for appt)
3. The next C&P is in the PTSD clinic 4 weeks later. I guess in the big scheme of things 3 appointments for three different things 4 weeks apart is not too bad.
We over reacted to the notices because we were told the claim was ready to be rated. Then to find out it wasn't was a big disapointment. Back to the waiting game, but we were releaved that they wern't repeating C&Ps just adding more.
Any help for the Gastro/IBS - would be appreciated.
Thanks,
