Question

Sometimes, its hard for the Veteran to know "what is missing" in his c and p exam.
To find this out often requires a very experienced Veterans advocate and a review of your Cfile.
Often, your decision wont tell you what is wrong with your exam, you just get denied, or perhaps you may get a reasons and bases like, "There is no record of a link to military service".
To "fix" your claim, you may need to review your file, and understand what is necessary for the exam to be favorable and productive.
Refusing another exam is a ticket to either a denial, or the hamster wheel. To get off the hamster wheel, find out what is wrong and fix it.
Think of it of your car broken down. "Somebody" needs to figure out the problem and often get a new part to replace the broken part. Continuing to drive a car with a broken or worn part, is unlikely to result in safe, reliable transportation.
In the same way, your exam may have something missing or broken.
Some VA employees "just deny" the claim, while others call for a re exam, which is often a favor to you, preventing you from long delays with appeals.
Its highly unlikely that there is some conspiracy among multiple VA employees to send you to multiple exams for no reason, reminding you that your claim is often viewed by multiple multiple VA employees, often from different regional offices!
Instead of refusing exams and ensuring long delays or hamster wheel remands, diagnose what is wrong and fix it.
If you are not sure how to do this, you can post your exam on hadit, and some experinced people who understand what it takes to make an exam adequate may be able to help you. Or, find a very good Veterans advocate, perhaps an attorney, or sometimes even a PRO VSO who gets it.
Here is one example of how a claim got to the CAVC with an inadequate exam, and how it was discovered by a professional law firm:

Assuming the last exam was adequate rarely works, if you want to be proactive on your claim, dont guess, but instead study, review, and get help if necessary.

Yep. If your mechanic keeps replacing the same part, it just may be time for a new mechanic!!! My mechanic is great and I plan on keeping him. He is a bit pricey but gets the job done right the

When you get to the VBA the happy face of the VA changes into a snarl. Many people dealing with vets on the financial side consider vets to be gold bricks, fakers, and frauds. This true in many case
