Wondering what everyone&#39;s luck is with having a DBQ filled out by a non-VA related medical provider? My fear is I will go through the trouble only to be told by the VA I will need to have their provider examine me. I have not had to much luck with VA doctors. Can they deny my claim for disability increase if I refuse to go? Even if the DBQ is complete and submitted properly?

If your doctor has been treating you for some time, whether using the VA DBQ, or not, it would carry more weight than an exam completed during a C&amp;P exam. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 14 Oct 2018 17:54:33 -0400 2018-10-14T17:54:33-04:00 2018-10-14T11:42:26-04:00
