Are DBQ Writeups Based On Found Medical Evidence?

[18Blade]

I still have a few months until retirement, BDD claim was submitted this past December, and now I feel like I'm sitting around coming up with every conceivable reason for the VA to deny my claim(s).

If a DBQ is filled out in a given way, that means the examiner was able to find the medical evidence commensurate to write-up said DBQ, correct? They review the medical evidence, then conduct their exam, and write up the DBQ accordingly.

If so, is it a 'thing' for the VA rater to read the DBQ, and then somehow, someway, NOT see the same medical evidence that the examiner found?

Can a claim get denied because a rater doesn't 'see' something, even though the examiner already specified the medical evidence that was reviewed AND conducted the exam?

All of my DBQ's are written in a way that is very favorable to me, when compared to the VA rating schedule, but I'm trying to not allow myself to get too excited, because the internet is full of people who claim they got screwed by the VA, even though all the evidence is in their claim.

In any case, just wondering if the above is a potential outcome. Thanks,

Shaun

The VA rater uses the DBQs to assign a rating. Take a deep breath.

Like @chaplaincharlie mentioned they mainly rely on the DBQ.

I've heard from some of the VSOs who used to be raters is that the caseload is so intense that they don't even have time to go through the medical notes sometimes and DBQ is used as the primary evidence.

If the DBQ is vague, they will look over the notes. But they mainly depend on the examiners to do that when doing the C&P exams and fill out the DBQs appropriately.

Thank you both for the replies. As you explained, this is what I figured was the case, as it makes the most sense. I couldn't understand how someone's claim would be denied because the rater didn't see the medical evidence, even though the DBQ allegedly already verified it.

Deep breath, indeed.
