So my PC is a Nurse practitioner for mental health. I've had 2 favorable c&p exams for mental health. Will my examiners which were a psychologist and psychiatrist have more weight with the exam meaning will there findings have more of an impact rather than my Nurse practitioner pc notes.
A medical professional typically performs the C&P exam at their office. Depending on your specific concern, this professional may be a doctor, psychiatric nurse, clinical psychologist, nursing practitioner, etc. Private doctors also sometimes do C&P exams for patients.
I have several claims in process as a Desert War veteran there are several presumptive but also things like PTSD and secondary claims to sevice connected disabilities. I hope to get results by April. I'm worried the DBQ was not completed accurately considering the number of disabilities during my C&P exam where he covered 15+ disabilities in 2 hours. How can I understand how to proceed after I get my results and I am dissatisfied with the determination?
If you want to see your C&P exam results, you must request a copy of the report. To do that, you can fill out a Privacy Act Request using VA Form 20-10206. You can submit the form by mail to the Department of Veterans Affairs Evidence Intake Center or take the completed form to your regional VA office. If you receive your VA rating decision and think it’s incorrect, whether as a result of your C&P exam or for other reasons, you can appeal. Here is a guide to the appeal process that may help: www.woodslawyers.com/va-disability-appeal/?.com&DBQsMelissa&CommentShare
I had a similar C&P exam as yours but with only 4 claims vs your 15. My exam for these took over 1 hour and I came out feeling like she covered the DBQ's for the separate conditions pretty well within that time frame. To me it seems like covering 15+ disabilities would take like 4-6 hours. You'll definitely want to request copies of the completed DBQ's to see what if anything they missed.
Thank You Melissa! Can I ask you? So, IF a Veteran has a Genuine disability, and his C and P have ONLY been taken info out of the Record; and That is 1968 and this is fifty six years later; IS This Not The V.A. is taking a position that the Vet has No Disable?? Even IF "Provider" 3rd Party is "Qualified Med Prof" and This is a Mental Issue, How can this be an exam that is true and relative??
Thank you Woods and Woods, LLC. Your materials are very helpful in preparing my current Claim, as they were 2 years ago in my successful PTSD Claim. All the best for 2024.
Any doctor, including your primary care physician, can fill out a DBQ. If it is an area of specialty, such as cancer or mental health, the DBQ should be completed by a physician who is qualified in that area.
I am in Uganda. I appreciate your service to inform us on how to claim form VA. Thanks

What if all i have is VA doctors?
Any doctor, including your primary care physician, can fill out a DBQ. If it is an area of specialty, such as cancer or mental health, the DBQ should be completed by a physician who is qualified in that area.
@@woodslawyers the VA doctors refuse to fill them out. I've asked my primary care doctor to fill out a DBQ for headaches and she refused.
