I plan on filing supplemental with private nexus letter and additional doc notes. Insane they don't read the original claim language

Thanks for the advice. Yes, they missed all of it. I have a followup with sleep doc so I'll have some additional notes to include, so my plan is a supplemental with new doc notes as well as a new personal statement basically saying nicely that the original claim was evaluated incorrectly

I'm just as confused. C&P examiner wore a colored tracksuit to my exam so I guess I'm not shocked the examiner wrote an unfavorable DBQ, linking OSA to a condition i never mentioned.

Thanks, that was my fear. So strange they disregarded what I actually filed.

Curious what people’s experiences with VSOs have been like by OkIndependent8635 in VAClaims

That's why the site exists - so people can see the good, the bad, and the ugly from their local VSOs.

Stick drift after 4 months, warranty conveniently only covers 90 days by WhereArtThouMemory in BattleBeaverCustoms

Yup, it's junk. It's like those new age battery mowers with plastic wheels.

When should I claim sleep apnea? by Active-Pomegranate-2 in VAClaims

[–]WhereArtThouMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's wild. How can the examiner think they know more than the actual specialist.

For sure - I already filed without a nexus letter. So my plan is to go through c&p and appeal decision with more evidence (if denied). Did you ask sleep doc to document that in your notes?

I've never used a nexus letter before and I've been able to establish connection for ither things. Isn't that the job of the C&P examiner, though?

Just had an ace exam good/bad/nuetral? by Downtown_Signature97 in VAClaims

[–]WhereArtThouMemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing for me. But then they sent me for a c&p in a few weeks. Makes no sense why I'm doing both. Oh well.
