0 Mr cue Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I think that a good thing maybe they feel with the info from SS they don't need the exams. Which would be the right thing to do. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here it is, for back issues. It looks to me as though they are re-evaluating my back ratings, as if the new examination could wipe out my service-connect. I mean I understand it could go both ways and maybe an increase. I requested TDIU on top of my existing 80% service-connected disabilities (mainly my back issues, and my MDD). Look at this guy's medical background and what he does for the VA. Yeah he's fully positioned to eliminate my service-connection for my back. 80% combined (rounded). 82% actual. 70% - Major depressive disorder with anxious distress (claimed depression), Service-connected disability?

As far as I can see, it appears to be a scheduled C & P exam, but it does not state specifically that this examiner will try to sever your current rating. As stated, many times before, if it is at all possible. Try to have your own IMO that your service connected back, and depression causes you to be unemployable or that your service connected back, and depression would interfere with you working or employment.
