I Think Not

[63Charlie]

 

Instead of developing evidence for the feet and ankles claims I recently filed (neuropathy, secondary to my service connected pes planus and arthritis), the VA now wants me to have a General Examination by QTC.

Makes no sense at all to me.

I'm not interested in having the VA open all my P&T disabilities to scrutiny because I filed these new secondary claims.

Anyone have some solid advice to offer?

Ok see this is were you are lose this was  the first remand from cavc to bva.

You say that you refuse to attend any new exams but according to the Board as of March 21, you have recent medical records that supports a denial and even if this is not true these records are the ones they are focused on

We will see how it works out for those advocating "refuse a c and p exam

court and stated a regular medical appointments with my doctor asking how you feel today. I feel good today.

This wasn't a comp exam or anything a regular doctor note from a visit. An that is how it all started.

Video chat during the pandemic lol

The judge stated my condition improved off this one medical note to order more exams. An not address the 7 comp exam order during the appeal 

Well like I said I refuse anymore exam and ask for a smc benfits decision based on my record the way the law states.

Well they choose to do was nothing I withdraw it.

because they were hold everything with this bogus remand 

Well the court has remand it back to them and told them to address my favorable evidence for loss of use and there own bva decisions in my case.  Which were increase rating 

I receive in home care for loss of use. Pay for by the VA hospital.

Do you think judge stated that lol

So just what you point out is how they start reduction on a veteran 

And play games 

They can't reduce me so they choose to keep playing games like I said I wait until I was protected because I understood my case is big.

An there games 

I didn't apply for my smc benfits until 2018. I have been to the cavc twice and now on my second remand to the bva. All expidate due to my need of in home care.

I am smc l and half I am fighting for the smc r.

An I just got the cavc remand to address it this time again. but they will try a new game.

Last it has been working well in my case I am smc l and half.

An once my favorable evidence and comp exams are address I will be smc r.

Good luck with that.  Tbird and myself gave you advice consistent with lawyers and professional Veterans advocates, as I will explain, below: 

CCK law agrees with Tbird and myself that you should go to exams:

https://cck-law.com/veterans-law/can-i-lose-my-va-benefits-if-i-don-t-attend-my-cp-exam/ 

Further, VA employees and examiners (including contractors) are given a presumptive of regularity.  Example:

 

https://attigcurransteel.com/veterans-law-updates/va-medical-examiners-competence-presumption-rizzo/

This means that VA employees, and VA docs (including contractor exams) are assumed to be correct and doing their job correctly.  

Yes, we can challenge the competency of an examiner.  Example: https://cck-law.com/blog/how-to-challenge-va-cp-exam/

Its my opinion that CCK law, Attig Steele would not give advice to VEterans which they did not think was in their best interest.  Remember, when you hire CCK law or one of the others, their payment is also based on results, so they have a personal interest in the Veteran getting the largest retro possible, and doing things which will likely get that. 

If "refusing exams" led to a better outcome, we would be seeing Vets all over refusing c and p exams to increase their chances

Does touting the likes of CC&K really make you feel knowledgeable?

Have they been successful for you personally?

Is there more to this story you will share?

 

Since we all like to share opinions here...this one is mine.

CC&K refused to represent me on multiple occasions.

Why?

 

At first, I, too, thought highly of CC&K when I was new to the appeals process.

By turning down representation CC&K made me feel small, and unimportant, but I soldiered on without the likes of their high profile law firm that you hold in such high regard.

Thanks again, Mr. Cue.

[Mr cue]

My first cavc appeal I did it pro SE won the remand.

The 2nd one the VA try to make me handle 3 cases at the court at the same time. That a hold other story.

I was look for a lawyer this time an also was turn down by all the big firms because I am tdiu.

They were not interested in a smc benfits appeal.

My advice is do to do research on your condition search the bva site and find out what the bva use to granted your issue.

No one is really go to fight for your benfits.

I had a vso years ago do you think they explain smc benfits to me.

No. I had to find out here on hadit. I did my research an found I should have been receiving it all along.

They never inferred it.

I had a vso when the VA Left my claim from service in appeal status form 1993-2001. I fought an won that 8 year retro. Pro SE.

I had a vso when I apply for mh 2001 an the VA has even left this in appeal status.

I just got the court to remand this to the bva to address the pending appeal.

Do you think anyone of those vso understood this no.

You must do your owe work  this is my opinion.
