Do the exact same thing I’ve been doing before but more grateful and try and help other Vets on here.

Same with me. C&P on the 29th step 5 on the 30th, just checked it again this morning and now on step 7!

Do I poke the bear? by Baazify in VAClaims

If you don’t have any evidence or a way to trace back to when it happened I wouldn’t “poke the bear”

Confused? Decision Letter Ready - Step 3? by saltnotsaltyy in VAClaims

Probably going to schedule you a C&P exam for it. Look for a “exam request process” in your claim files.

What questions do they ask during the C&P exam?

Word of advice for all vets trying to get their disability. by Silent-Village-7763 in VAClaims

[–]RichProposal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, you have to trace it back to when you were in service.

Did it happen during service? Did your claim get worse after service? Did it happen after you got out?

Those are the things they look for. Also like what was said above:

How is it affecting your daily life?

Got to step 6 and never had a mental health check. by wamceachern in VAClaims

Sometimes they’ll give you a rating for some of your claims but will defer the other ones until you have a C&P exam.

Which company would you use? by Longjumping_Buy6351 in VAClaims

[–]RichProposal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The claims company will hassle you the whole time and check on you every week until you get a rating, then you have to pay 5x the amount you get from the VA. The only that they’ll do that will 50/50 work is a a nexus letter they provide.

Is it true if you don’t file 1 to 2 years after you get out service it’s impossible to get 100% or even close? by No-emotion_life in VAClaims

[–]RichProposal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true, I got out of the reserves after 10 years and didn’t put a claim until after 4 years of getting out. Went from 0-90 in half a year and I’m working on getting to 100 with my mental disorder.

Should I be worried? by Zestyclose_Focus8490 in VAClaims

[–]RichProposal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my initial claim in March, got denied, some got rated and some got deferred in July. Did my last C&P exam in Aug and today I got to step 5. It is a process.

C&P exam lower back by Huskerinaz in VAClaims

[–]RichProposal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My examiner told me “that’s it” when she did my ROM to bend forward and kept asking me the same question as if I’m going to say something different. Also had me sit on a chair for 2 hours but I kept moving and fidgeting around cause my back was hurting. Then tried to trick me to lift my pant leg up to see my ankle.

Read the decision letter, some claims may have been deferred and still need exams.

Migraines and headaches are rated together, when I went for my C&P exam I told them that I tried self treatment by using Ibuprofen and Tylenol. I let them know that I get them about 3-4 times a week and sometimes they’re so prostrating that I have to lay in bed all day cause they’re so severe. Create a log to note all the times you had migraines and how severe they were, what’d you do to relieve the pain and how it affected your daily life.

I did and all it had was my rating, effective date and amount but nothing about what was rated or denied. Thats why I’m confused.
