May-
1. Filed for increase on mental health condition (Depression 2nd to Tinnitus)
2. VES exam, didnt go well, got reduced. Examiner said I had another condition, it wasn't service related, etc, etc.
July-
3. Filed a supplemental with a DBQ from a private psychologist (looked like 50-70 percent)
August-
4. New exam from QTC, went well, probably around 70 percent
5. VSO told me a few weeks ago they sent it back to examiner for medical opinion. I know the QTC examiner had mentioned that they did not ask for one in which he thought was odd during my exam in August.
September-
6. VSO told me today that they sent it back to the VES examiner from May, and the examiner basically regurgitated the same thing he already said. He already provided a medical opinion previously in May. Examiner said I had OCD (never been diagnosed by anyone in 5 years).
I am confused to why they sent it back to the VES examiner and not my most recent examiner? Could this be a mistake? Thanks. Not sure how this will pan out.

There was a contradiction between the two doctors examinations and their findings- this happens also if your private doctor opines in your favor and the VA examiner doesn't, or vice versa, especially

By statute it should, but it really depends on what doctor A vs doctor B said and the rationale provided. I know its a popular opinion, but doctors don't usually outright lie on their exams. They get

Pretty much, yeah, except we don't call. We get the pending counts from all the contractors every day uploaded into the system and so it assigns based on distance and overall case load- except that at
