According to VHA Directive 1134 the VA doctor is required to and must complete a DBQ, medical statement, or Nexus letter when requested. It is part of their job description.

I was just told, at a C&P Exam and being stopped mid-sentence while describing my back symptoms to the examiner, "lumbar strains can only be muscular in nature and that radiculopathy can’t be a secondary condition to a lumbar strain." Simple question: Is this true? I was surprised because everything I have read seems to suggest that a lumbar strain can be, and is often, a musculoskeletal condition.

I suffred a back injury aboard ship in 1969 and was denied benefits until 2009. I needed back surgery because the pain became unbearable. The VA still gave me a hard time and I had to request a review in which the review officer apologized after looking at my induction medical which didn't show any back problems which the navy claimed it was a congenial back condition. The back surgeon disputed the claim and said he saw old fractures to the pars, this probably occurred when my lower back impacted the catwalk railing as I was given a jet blast boost as I was trying to get off the deck. So the VA is giving me a 20% right leg and a 10% left leg for radiculopahty. Should I be given something for my back and the chronic pain I have not to mention the phripial poly neuropathy and restless leg syndrome I now have?

Only for my foot 20%, hip 10%. I am always in pain and have been in pain for years but cannot get a dr to help me with writing a statement supporting my condition.

I try and go to the VA every year. When I go to the examiner, they never check anything. They just use whatever notes they have and maybe ask one question. Last examine the examiner said he did not have any updated medical records and would try to get it. I had an MRI done on both ankles and I complained about my lower back and left side of my neck. Months later nothing changed with my rating.

If I have an in service medical record (MRI showing disc herniation) and that herniation becomes worse over the years after getting out and a civilian doctor later on determines that the exact same area that was highlighted in the MRI done by the military doctors is beyond what PT can do and surgery is the only option (and you get surgery to help the pain) would that be considered service connected?

I'm currently filling for additional compensation and one filing was for chronic pain in my back and ankle. My DAV rep is telling me there is no filing for this and I'd have to declare it at my c&p exam to have them recognize it. Is this true, or have I picked the wrong organization to represent me. I had the vfw do it for me last time and that also went unproductive.

The exam could go either way; I did my second C& P exam with a TDIU rating of 90 percent total and permanent with both knees... I got a new rating of 100 percent back, 50 percent feet and 10 percent tinitus. My first exam went ten years of back pay. I have five new and material claims currently at the board pressing the argument for date when entitlement occurred forty years ago... You have to know your claim to the core and make a calculated risk for back pay claims of this magnitude... CC& K did have my claim for a minute but dropped it...

ALAN BERENS I had a foot explosion in July 1993 on active duty. My claim was denied early and now I'm having major issues. I had major surgery your thought?

I was stationed at Rhein Main AB, Germany when Chernyonbol blew. The Environmental Health team did soil, air and water samples and said everything was in normal limits even though many farmers were recorded having to kill some of their live stock. Also, a base leaflet was published warning us not to play in standing water or sand. Requiring parents to brush off clothing and to shower when coming indoors(decontamination). Looking at the the spread of the radiation exposure over the European area shows just how wide spread the radiation had spread. It is highly suspect that we were exposed.

@John Gilday, thank you for watching. You have the right to request a copy of your C&P exam from your local VA Regional Office after the exam has been completed.

Get a civilian doctor. The military and VA don't take the time or have the training to properly evaluate you. The VA tries very hard to deny you benefits.
