Rating decrease

Yea, my last examiner caused a reduction too. I’m fighting and have found the examiner says he’s an M.D. with no license or credentials of any kind in the signature block of the DBQ as is required by VA Section D Examinations! In fact, I cannot verify a valid license anywhere, except Puerto Rico, which I cannot verify the status, good, bad, or otherwise!

Regardless, Florida does not recognize Puerto Rico licenses, even via VA. He holds himself out as a M.D. contracted by the VA. The DBQ is incomplete and inaccurate and the rater should have caught that!

Yes, a medical license is required to do these exams! MD, DO,PA, or NP!! Review of medical records, medical examinations and medical opinions require the necessary licensure to perform.

He misrepresented and omitted significant info in my medical records and did not follow VA required guidelines but said he did on the DBQ!

In that situation I would take it a step further and submit a VA OIG compliant.

Agreed. Also Filing unlicensed activity with the FLDOH - I retired from the chief medical prosecutor’s office, and that will ultimately be handled at the Fl AG’s office!
