C&P Exam
The question:
I went for my 1st ever C&P exam this past Friday for hearing loss & tinnitus. The examiner said I have classic tinnitus no doubt,but wants me to come back this week for re-exam on the speech recognition/discrimination part as I was apparently off the chart or he had other concerns. Does this sound right for them to call me back for a re-exam for a claim? Is this normal?Thanks for any assistance
My answer:
The VA does some weird stuff in their C&P exams. If you had the hearing test in the last one, get copies of the report as soon as possible. Keep your new appointment and get a copy of that report as well. It is possible that it surprised them of the extent of your hearing impairment. Hope that helps.
