0 Ddsr Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Best evidence you can obtain is a vocational rehab opinion. You can get this through Vocational Rehab which is free. If you are truly IU then they will not accept you into the program. If not accepted ask for a Feasiblity Letter stating such. cali_21B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a nexus from independent source they would need to view your VA records and state such on the nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of some writeup on how my MH prevents me from working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Moderator broncovet Posted July 14, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2021 Ask him: Do you think I am unemployable due to sC conditions? If he says, "Yes", ask him to document same. If he says no, you will need another doctor which may include an IMO/IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 McRay Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 There are many docs who specialize in Independent Medical Opinions/Examinations. I don't know if I'm allowed to post any links but I'm sure there are listings somewhere here on Hadit. Probably can google VA IMO doctors too. I had one done, it was handled by my attorney and I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it is pretty comprehensive. If I have to get another one, I would expect to pay from $1500 - $2000 but that's just a guestimate. Your situation may be less complex since you are already service connected and therefore less expensive. I've gotten so many different MH diagnosis from the VA that I no longer have much faith in them. If you can afford it, get an IMO. As always, do your research and consult several different docs.
