C&P exams

[GBArmy]

Hang onto to your hats, boys and girls. I just read on Stars & Stripes that the VA is terminating all in-house C&P exams. Going forward they are going to contact them all out. Apparently, no exceptions for MH exams, MST, etc. Yet they haven't implemented corrective actions based on an audit they had 2 years ago.  Anybody think this 100% re-sourcing may be a bad idea? "WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs is eliminating its in-house compensation and pension exam program and will outsource all of the exams, which are crucial to determining whether veterans are eligible for VA benefits." see the article https://www.stripes.com/news/us/va-plans-to-outsource-all-compensation-and-pension-exams-1.649356

cwatson So where are you now on your disabilities? Do you use VAHC or civilian? How about secondary conditions like high bp or GERD?

My thoughts exactly from GB. Also since that you can not maintain employment, can't you get you VA Primary Care Doctor write a letter stating  the fact that due to your service connected disability(s), if you provided the proof and if he/she has reviewed your records, you had not or can not maintain employment?

Also, for your serviced connected disabilities, do you not have anxiety/depression being that you can not maintain employment due to your service connected disabilities, resulting in can't paying your bills and can not get a job even temporarily due to covid? Just a thought.
