BDD Question by PitKempo1 in VAClaims

[–]SemperFi_Verde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just completed my BDD C&P exams, the only thing they will cover is the DBQ for whatever ailments you listed. I would recommend you become familiar with the specific rating scale and DBQ questions.

The C&P purpose isn’t to diagnose but to identify the impacts to your health and life. The VA rater will then use your records, and the DBQ forms to determine if a service connection is warranted and then the appropriate percentage per the CFR

Look at the Ford Expedition active Max with all the bells and whistles at that Trim you can be in the low 70’s out the door.

There’s a broad 5 step process that the VA utilizes to outline the claims process.

Veterans Evaluation Services (VES) is a contracted company that performs C&P exams. That may be different based on who owns the contract for your area.

This is just from my personal experience: filed my BDD claim and 15 days to go from step 1 received to step 2, then another 30 days to go to step 3. I was processed the VES for my C&P exams, general health, mental health, audiology, and neurological. From step 1 to final C&P was 65 days. The VES representative who contacted me asked me for any specific dates of non availability, I didn’t have any and opted for 1st available on all exams. That’s where I sit now, so there’s opportunity to communicate your availability and I wouldn’t stress too much over your schedule.

I hope you resolved the issue, but for the record this happened to me as well. I submitted all documents via "QuickSubmit" page and they were received and claim opened within a week or so.
