Question

I just noticed another great reason not to refuse a C and P examination.
In summary, it was suggested this Veteran refuse an exam, because he already had a nexus.
However, this Veteran had no symptoms documented!!! Remember, we must have the Caluza elements, but we get compensated for symptoms which are documented!!!
Refusing an exam wont fix this..instead, it will likely result in denials or hamster wheel remands.
Instead of refusing an exam, read the last exam, and try to figure out what is wrong.
Some VA employees actually help us by NOT denying us with an inadequate exam, but instead send us to another exam so we dont take months or years more for long appeals.
Arguing with VA about an exam or refusing the exam wont help. Just go to the exam, and go prepared to give the doc necessary information to favorably complete your claim..
White house calls wont help. The white house can not fix an inadequate exam. The CAVC cant fix one either. Your doctor can fix this, however, only if you attend the exam!
Example:
Of coursse, also a good reason not to refuse an exam is 38 CFR 3.655:

I went for a C&P exam for my DMII and PN. I was expecting an increase in my DMII, but got a very significant increase for the PN. If I had blown off the C&P exam I would still not have sche

There ARE "work arounds" to the high costs of IMO/IME's. 1. Just tell the doc you cant afford it and ask if he can do it for less. 2. See if your own VA doc will provide the needed nex
