Who currently have champva? And what’s it’s like using it, do they pay providers or not?

Has anyone ever take this class with Professor: Tom Clobes? How in the world did y’all passed this class lol? Nothing is good enough for him, you follow his instructions but his feedback gives a different approached.

Like I said in the title, don’t believe these raters on Reddit.
So I had a C&P exam today not gonna say what was it for, but the va didn’t send over all my records to examiner, so we get to talking, really nice lady too, her father was a army vet so she have a little understanding of how the va operates because her dad went through the same thing with the VA.
One of our many conversations that we had we were talking about veterans and C&P examiners, and she extended the courtesy to me by telling me that the Va is not there to help us vets all the way because a lot of time she would type up the report in the favor of the veteran and the raters would reach out and asked her to take some stuff out or add some stuff, which would result in getting the veterans denied and if she don’t do it, the Va would reschedule the exam or sent to a VES record review to get it denied. lol interesting right?
So when these raters come here talking about they are happy to see us getting the proper ratings that we deserve don’t believe that crap, and I say that because I had a C&P exam back in February, the Va send it back to the examiner and she went the extra mile by including my medication that Va prescribed to me that is making my condition they didn’t like that, so request a third exam with VES, but this time it was just a records review by VES, the examiner literally put two lines on it and the Va denied it lol.

Edit: Just for context:
I did file a HLR and they kick it back to the rater to correct the error that they missed, the rater then send me for an C&P exam which was completed, they send it back for rework, which she did just that and include the three baseline that they needed and they didn’t like it and send it to VES, which VES didn’t even include a baseline just say this can’t be due to this and that was it, and whatever he copy and paste from the Mayo Clinic.

Why is so hard for veterans to get on the GS, especially when we have the qualification? I even went as far as applying a for a GS7 position and still got rejected, like what’s going on?

Anybody here took healthcare admin with flexpath? If so, how was it and what professors do I need to stay away from? I’m trying to do my work and pass the classes, not trying to deal with some lonely miserable professors.

Hey guys so I have a quick question, I have a VES telephone C&P exam coming up next week and I just want some guidance and how to approached this examiner.

So, back in January I did a C&P exam through LSGS which came back in my favor “ least as likely as not”, then the Va sent over my paperwork to VES for record review, the examiner for VES then came back with “less likely than not”. Saw my pulmonary doctor today and show her both paperwork, exact words from her “He basically copied the Mayo Clinic general page on OSA risk factors and said there’s “no medical literature” linking your mental health condition to OSA or obesity.” Which she’s claiming that he basically just ignore what the VA asked him to and do his own thing. She also stated “The rater specifically asked him to address the 3 required obesity-as-intermediate-step questions. He completely ignored them and just repeated “the disorder itself does not cause complications such as obesity.”

So how should I approach a C&P examiner with his previous not favor BDQ, previous in favor DBQ and what my pulmonary doctor told me today?

So my lawyer just email me and told me that the VES Examiner gives a decision against my original DBQ from C&P examiner.

Had a C&P exam for OSA back in January, C&P examiner wrote the DBQ in my favor, Rater wasn’t happy so they sent it back to C&P examiner and she did the rework and stated the medication that I’m taking for my PTSD is causing my OSA to worsen, because I suffer from chronic pain, Va still wasn’t satisfied so they send to VES for review and he basically went against everything that the original C&P examiner wrote. I was kinda expecting that though, because that specific VES examiner go against every veteran.

Hello everyone happy Sunday, so I’m start my ABSN semester in June of this year and I was just wondering if I should get simple nursing as a backup study guide.

Is it worth to get it or just go with whatever study guide the school provided?

If anyone has any experience with simple nursing tools please share, I’ll gladly appreciate it. I don’t mind paying for the membership the money is not the issue, I just need to be more prepared.

Idk if I’m just thinking deep into this new rule, but I’m trying to understand why veterans are saying that this is going to hurt us. Yes the proof of for secondary claims is now higher, but it’s also easier for us to be service connected with secondary to our primary and hear me out.

What they are proposing now is what your nexus letters and DBQ’s from a good C&P examiners been saying for years and the VA been ignoring it, now it’s literally right there in there in the new M21-1 update, it’s lowkey work out in our favor because that baseline that our nexus letter been highlighting for our secondaries now the VA can’t ignore it. And if you haven’t read and understand the new M21-1 rule, please don’t comment anything negative just watching fear mongering YouTube channels.

Key M21-1 Changes and Updates

Secondary Claim Changes (May 2026): The burden of proof for secondary claims is now higher, making it more challenging for veterans to link new disabilities to existing service-connected conditions.

First and foremost I want to say, thank to the reps that work for VES, you guys are amazing. But these contractors that sign up for VES and don’t like veterans you guys need to find something else to make money from and stop trying to make money off veterans if you don’t like us.

So, VES been tryin to reach out this NP that is doing a VES medical review on my case and they have not been successful in getting back a response from him, look him up and google and every single veteran has something bad to say about this guy, I still can’t understand why these people keep trying to work as contractors for these veteran third party services if you guys don’t like us.

Maybe I’m looking at this wrong but somebody else has any input, feel free to indulge I’m open to other concerns or comments.
