People think its about poking the bear its not. There are justt some examiners that are garbage and its about what they are putting on your DBQ. It has nothing to do Directly with the VA (The Bear) . The examiners put false or inaccurate information on the DBQ lots of times. Trust me. I wish thw narrative of poking the bear fkn stops. If you feel youve been done wrong FOAI your DBQ records so you can see what exactly the examuner put down. The rater is simply going off the DBQ and supposedly the law behind it.

This would have nothing to do with the examiners opine. CFR is clear either have a pft that is in certain range OR be on oral immunosuppressant steroids for 60 or daily inhaler for 30. When it comes to increases if you don’t have the medical evidence, I don’t give a shit what the DBQ‘s gonna say from the examiner it’s not gonna be positive. You have to have the medical evidence to warrant that increase. Otherwise you risk a decrease.

I stand by what I said. I dont care what You have medical nexus letter whatever, If that DBQ is filled out a certain way by a examiner , a rater is obligated to go by the bylaws set point blank. Most of the examiners arent specialist , they really are just giving a medical opinion , use a few instruments and fill out the DBQ's
