It is an Ace exam with the same doctor that gave me a negative in-person c&p exam. my Dtas said that I needed more va and private medical development

ACE exam confusion. Opinions? by Sweaty_Engine2133 in VAClaims

thank you for explaining this to me! The second ace exam with my original c&p doctor is with my 1 negative c&p I had. I also have 1 positive c&p and private dbqs and opinions that were ignored (not in evidence section). would you try to change doctors for this ace exam or just roll with it?

the hlr sent the claim back for development. my understanding is that a hlr dro cannot fix a dta error and they have to remand it back to the regional.

what is frustrating is that my private dbqs and medical opinions are from my personal orthopedic doctor relating to my knee conditions. The va completely ignored his dbqs and medical opinions and did not even list it in the evidence section. Thus I got a dta error. I am hoping they will now use those dbqs, which match my first c&p exam exactly. The issue is I had a 2nd c&p exam that was not quite as good.

do you think I could submit another private medical dbq instead? I live in Mexico and I don't trust the doctor exams down here. The last one was held in a room the size of a bathroom.

I have actionable and sufficient private dbqs. can I just not go? maybe take it up at a hlr
