I am considering filing a claim for Fibromyalgia on a secondary basis. I will have substantial evidence including:
1. IMO/Nexus from Rheumatologist relating FM secondary to my SC disability.
2. Lay evidence from a Chiropractor. This will state I have been a patient with musculoskeletal issues for several years. I look for the RO to ignore this and not even review it.
3. I will have additional evidence as well.
My fear is that even though I have my eggs in a basket that the VA will send me to a C&P examiner that needs to meet their quota for rejects regardless of pending evidence.
If this is the case will the RO then ignore the IMO/Nexus from my Rheumatologist and deflect like they are known to do? Has anyone had any experience with this or any secondary issue?
I am trying to avoid a 6 to 8 year process. Thanks
