I'm working on filing a new claim to raise my current ratings on a few of my disabilities. With that, where can I file the VA rules that states the use of third-party medical firms/Doctors that can or must be used?
I'm looking at going through Ree Medical Inc to evaluate and seek amendment of my current disability rating from 90% to 100%. From what I understand, though not read it in any VA official documentation, is that the Veteran does not need to use a VA contracted medical doctor....but would need to use a board certified Doctor.
I want to see the VA rule(s) on this in black and white for myself. So, if any of you can help point me to whatever document this is in and if you can help narrow down the location of it within the rules "book", I'd appreciate it.

Im unaware of any regulation "in black and white" that states "the use of third party examiners can/must be used". To the contrary, the VA wants/needs to be very flexible since tens of thousand
