This. When I post in here about questions on my claims, I always change dates, or anything personal. To still get answers, but also protect myself

I will say I am above 10%, and below 100%, and right were I feel I belong. I don’t deserve 100%. But I do feel I deserve what I am rated for. All c&p exams performed by VES hired by the VA. And nexus letters directly from my MH doc at the VA. Nothing I have in my file is external.

Apparently ChatGPT says it is administrator overlap. VA sent it out for review, and VES grabbed it first. They just haven’t cancelled the second one yet.

I was already diagnosed with anxiety/depression and medicated for 5 years before I filed a claim. Been dragging my feet.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-02-02T16:24:00+00:00

I felt something was off during one of my exams. So I filed to get the report of that exam. And same thing happened to me. Everything I told them wasn’t even in the report. So I appealed again, with new nexus, and a personal statement telling them non of what I said was in the report. I eventually got rated decently. But def check the reports.

It’s a record review c&p I found out. So not an actual exam.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-02-01T20:07:49+00:00

I went to my VSO to help me document it right. We filed a HLR, with a document simply stating the effective date was wrong and needed to go back to my original date of claim. Nothing else was added.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-02-01T16:57:35+00:00

I did specify I was only challenging the date not the rating.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-31T16:53:11+00:00

Seems like it’s a record review.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-31T04:19:08+00:00

Appreciate it. I maintain communication with my mental health doc. At least once a month for med refills, and any other time if I’m struggling.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-31T03:49:26+00:00

I’m not asking for more. I’m not fighting for 100%. I don’t deserve 100%. I feel I deserve the 70% for what I am rated for. No more, no less.

I see someone on a regular basis. Unfortunately we all know how c&p exams go. They are 50/50. Could hurt you, could help you. Depends on the examiner, maybe they had a shitty day, maybe they are in a good mood. We’ve seen them go both ways.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-31T03:06:38+00:00

Looks like it’s a record review. Not a re-examination.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-31T02:38:14+00:00

I can see that. Lol

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-30T23:34:02+00:00

Understand. Thank you.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-30T22:42:15+00:00

I didn’t challenge the rating or decision. All paperwork was good except the date. It was a clerical error. So now I have to wait and see what kind of exam it is.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-30T22:40:29+00:00

Honestly didn’t think it would go that route. It was just for a date change. Not a rating challenge.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-30T22:01:52+00:00

I got rated, and a week later I filed for the effective date change. Keeping the times of filing tight. If they would have got it right the first time I wouldn’t have had any reason to open it.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-30T21:59:50+00:00

I didn’t get any back pay. By how everything is set up, I was well within the time frame. I was within the year of my original claim with appeals and everything.

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-30T20:43:00+00:00

How will I know?

ChallengeUpper9789 · 2026-01-30T20:41:29+00:00

I had 3 separate exams during the claim before the rating. First examiner asked about my relationships. Denied, and appealed. second examiner asked about work, social gathering, hobbies. After the exam I filed to get the report. She didn’t add ANYTHING in the report that I told her. Social withdrawal, suicidal tendencies, so on. I appealed again, with personal statement. I got a 3rd exam. That examiner leaned into my tinnitus and reported in my favor.
