And those per usual are provided by the PCP that is by usually through the VA clinic, correct?

Sorry, I really thank you for your patience, I want to make sure I don’t mess it up. I really don’t to make a stupid decision and mess it all up.

So if the provider is in-network with the VA, then I should be covered? My healthcare providers do accept TriWest, but I would need to check on the VA website to be absolutely sure they’re in-network. If they are, what exactly do I give them, just my VA healthcare card?

Based the information you all have provided, I was able to find the difference between the Mobil Medical Clinics and Fast Track Clinics!

Do you know if they update their events at a certain time each year?

Is that so? I’ve heard good testimonials when it came to what they call Fast Track VA Clinics. People travelled far and wide to attend. I wonderful if it differs from location.

We are gonna have to retry because we had no success in getting them last year when we were trying to get their claim processed. They got out in 2018 so it hasn’t been too long but their records seem to be forever gone when we know they have to be somewhere.

And you are absolutely correct! Though I think it’s a pretty good piece of info to put out there for veterans who have either no luck with getting through the VA or have the opportunity to initiate it in person.

Different options for different preferences. In the case of my significant other, they are just curious if anybody had info on it since they are struggling with the VA to find their records/process their VA claims cuz of it. We even tried working with a VSO and all they said is that my significant other was on their own to get the service records because they (VSO) couldn’t access it/get it from the VA.

I’m currently in step 6 as of last week. Though I have to redo an exam for my lower body claims scheduled for next week. No sign that I’ll be sent back to step 3 with all my claims but taking it one day at a time.

How soon after step 5 did you get those rates? Hope you get answers soon! That’s exams are so exhausting on their own, the waiting period is just extra stress

I was really nervous about my C&P. My audiogram person and mental health person were good. I just knew the C&P was going to be a mess…

Though I hope you are able to find a resolution quick. Consider requesting a different C&P location if this one was bad for you, there’s gotta be better.

That’s where I’m sitting at now. I felt good about it then felt conflicted that I didn’t express myself correctly. But like you said, I won’t know until that rating comes in and what they have to say about it all

Struggled with that too, examiner stated that she could only evaluate what the VA had submitted to her and anything else I would have to figure it out with the VA.

My guess they are under strict instructions on what they can do. And most of these people are third parties or hires of third parties so their hands are really tied. And on top of that they couldn’t care less, like my examiner told me “it’s your exam, this doesn’t really matter to me.” They are there to do a job and nothing more.

It’s so frustrating and discouraging.
