well I am not sure but I had 2 exam that have a nexus and then after those 2 they did a "higher level exam " just reviewing my records and that one was the one they used because it had less likely than not". Its like the VA shops for Dr's. or NP that will give them the outcome they want...

Without even looking for a law, rule, or regulation, VA will most likely schedule a veteran for a C & P exam prior to making a decision, a grant or a denial to try to prove they made an effort and cover their backside in case the veteran files an appeal.

Try this:

M21-1, Part III, Subpart iv, Chapter 3, Section B - Scheduling Examinations | M21-1

After getting SC, I had a claim hung up in the system for a year due to typical VA red tape. The VA sent me to a new exam to determine the current level of disability and perform a functional assessment. When I got my rating, it was staged. They gave me the level of disability at the time I was granted SC, but then increased it due to worsening severity that was recorded in the recent exam.
