LHI tomorrow

[Riplip]

Well I have my C&P tomorrow at LHI about my Meniere's claim. Should be an adventure. Going to a place that doesn't specialize in anything close to what I'm being examined for. All the new rating and nightmares I hear from everyone. I have to drive 1 hour and 20 minutes to a company that has another office 20 mins from me. I almost just quit the claim and left well enough alone but I think thats what they want. I hope I get a person that listens and reads all my doctors notes. I'll check ebenefits later today to see if I get denied before i even have my examine like last time lol.

Actually, I got my mileage reimbursement from LHI, not the VA, and it came automatically.  Part of the deal.

For the OP, you could have gone to the LHI website and got yourself a login and password and had access to "some" information, like when and where and the examiners name.  But no exam reports, as there is a disclaimer stating, reports are available of your exam from the VA.

LOL,

It is a crap shoot.  I had an exam via LHI and it turned out very well for me.  You might get lucky.  LHI is just in it for the money like all of them. I don't think they care about the results of an exam one way or the other.  The worst exams I ever had were done by the VA.  They seem to have a vested interest in low balling vets.

VAMC exams were always my worst too. Some of them there seemed very biased and acted like they were protecting VA's pocketbooks.

Carl is correct. When the contractor submits the results to the RO, they will issue a mileage check.

I don't know about LHI, but I recently had an exam through QTC and they automatically sent me a check for mileage.  I had the exam in their office and then they sent me to an office in the same building to have x-rays done. For some reason, they sent me a mileage check for the appointment and another check for the x-ray.  Ooops!

Thanks everyone. This conversation calms me.
