Hello, I am looking for some guidance as I just received the NARSUM back after completing all my VA C&P exams. If I am understanding correctly based on reading through previous treads here, the IMR is mainly to address issues with missing or incorrect conditions reported, not with the quality of the exams or the NARSUM itself.
I am active duty Air Force, and while the NARSUM includes all of the unfitting conditions and almost all of the other claimed conditions appropriately, I feel the quality of exam was extremely poor for 2 of my referred (do not meet retention) conditions and as such the reports generated are woefully inaccurate. Specifically the conditions are Idiopathic hypersomnia/narcolepsy and residuals following extensive knee surgery, to include pain, arthritis, and instability of the joint with recurrent dislocation.
For this, it sounds like an IMR may not be the right choice, and I will have to wait for the chance to appeal findings with a VARR, but before making a decision, I wanted to get some second (or third, fourth, etc.) opinions.Thank you so much in advance for any help!
