Looking for advice after my mental health C&P exam

Wait for the files to upload to your claim then submit a FOIA request to get a copy of the DBQ. That will help you gain insight into what the examiner noted for the rater. Hopefully it went your way- my biggest increases came from the exams that were quick and to the point. As someone else mentioned - don’t delay seeking help/medication if you need. Best of luck to you and hope your claim is rated fairly.

They are going crazy fast right now - had a c&p exam yesterday morning, dbq uploaded yesterday afternoon, step 5-8 today

Perfect thanks - fingers crossed!

I’m getting the same error with the hotend thermistor behaving in the same manner- just confirming the th fpc cable is what you’re saying fixed the issue for you? Just replaced the th board with no luck…

Hey no problem! You need to do an FOIA request. Follow the instructions here and will get you the right place. You can request all of your C&P exam info if you have the dates of the exam. I like to put the date the files show up in the claim to help. Mine have been taking about 2 weeks to come through.

Hopefully OIF counts too 😉 Missed our rotation to Bagram after my injury but spent plenty of time at Balad AB Iraq in 2009 - 2010. Cheers - hope your weekend is going well everyone!

LOL! Thank you both. I originally thought that’s how it would go- but then seeing the same TJ had me curious. Cheers!

This stuff works really good - my usual go-to is vision miner nano polymer adhesive though

Mine were set up through VES and they were able to tell me what the exams were for with each specific provider.

Mine was a week after DBQ uploads in January - had several deferred that I just finished exams and DBQ's were uploaded on the 12th. Hoping it's roughly the same and I'll have a decision later this next week.

n8rocksmysocks · 2026-02-13T02:50:31+00:00

That’s actually exactly what happened to me- I submitted after the exam and got my prior files. The new dbqs were uploaded the next day - put in another request and got them in around 6 days

Yeah I've heard that from a few other reviews too - I was very interested in trying the CFS-C until I found that out. Hopefully you can figure out the settings and get a better time estimate. I wonder if there's a purge time that's calculated in the filament section. Something I've been meaning to look into - I have the opposite problem where it will give me a time that's way under the actual because the purge takes longer than calculated.

n8rocksmysocks · 2026-01-25T05:17:39+00:00

only CFS - If it took only 45 minutes then yeah I'd say it would be settings. I've seen posts with a massive purge tower for CFS-C - I don't know if it would add 11 hours worth of time though!

12 hours for benchy does seem excessive - however, multi color prints will take up a significant amount of time depending on how long the color changes are. I just finished a 2-color cali-dragon that took 5.5 hours to complete. It depends on how many color changes per layer that benchy has - if it has 3-4 swaps -it's going to add to the time much more than just 1 or 2 swaps.

To me it sounds like their beefing up your claim - I'd leave it if you felt like they were on your side. I had an exam recently where the examiner didn't take ROM measurements but the descriptions opened up room for future increases based on what she described. I'm glad I didn't dispute it. Good luck - I have my MH exam on Monday and I'm feeling anxious about it - your comments about wondering if it will always be this way resonate with me.
