This is ironic, On monday I was called by the VA from a Lady to do an ACE C/P exam. You know the one were they call you after reviewing your medical records and ask you a few questions about the conditiion. In this case the VA had already done an ACE exam, two years ago, the case was returned to the local level by the BVA, so they are doing the same thing all over again.
Today, if you can believe it, I was called for another ACE exam, this was for a new issue, in fact the only issue in the system except the one menitioned above. I claimed GERD , secondary to my COPD medications, I received a call for a lady at the VA ( Caller ID) and asked me to verify my birthday, which I did, then she started asking me questions about my GERD. I told her my symptoms, the problems I was having and why I suspected my COPD meds were causing the problem. I asked her was she asked to give a medical opinion, and she would not answer my question. Really, why is it so hard to tell me yes or no.
I say ironic because as I mentioned in another post, I refused to attend C/P exams that were scheduled by a contractor, in which I refused to go, mainly because I had not been called by anyone about this, and I don't want my information all over the place. So now all of a suden I get to ACE exams for the only two claims in the system. Something is not right in Denmark as they say.
I just don't get it anymore.
So now I wonder what were those appointments for that I refused to attend in a strip mall. The letters did not say so I guess I will never know.
I also did mall the va a letter concerning those appointment on Saturday, its to soon for them to respond, ,if they respond to my questions about the exams at all.
I am not a lawyer so take my opinions with a grain of salt...
If I had listened to the nay sayers, I would never have acheived any ratings after I was awarded TDIU in 1999.Now I have not one but two 100% ratings, a TDIU and 4 SMC awards ! I say JUST GO For It
