The Veteran Service Officer said the law on Compensation and Pension exams needs to be changed. Middle Class Warrior agreed.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) does not require that physical exams be repeated if the claimant has provided sufficient medical evidience. After three years, Middle Class Warrior had seven letters from five different board certfiied physicians and also had numerous medical progress notes.
Accordingly he completed the SSA disability process in 111 days and did not have to repeat any of his physicals because the claim was so well-documented.
Middle Class Warrior sent letters to his congressman, C. W. Bill Young, and his senator, Bill Nelson. on streamlining the C&P precess by allowing the verteran to waive the C&P physical.
A letter did arrive from Rep. Bill Young's office today. The letter stated:
. . . I have taken the liberty of sharing your thought with my colleagues on the House Veteran's Affairs Committee, which would have the jurisdiction on any measure relating to government sponsored physicals. As they continue their work during the second session of the 111th Congress, please know they will keep your views in mind.
I sent a copy of the letter the Senator Bill Nelson's office in the event legislation addressing this issue makes it way to the Senate.
Bill Young, if re-elected will serve his 40th year in Congress, and will likely be the chairman of the powerful House Armed Service Committee.
The idea to letting the veteran waive C&P physicals would be easy to implement and probably save the government $ millions across the country.
Sometimes a little progressive 'out -of the-box' thinking works.
