Why Do I Have to Schedule So Many Appointments?
Answer:
We schedule multiple appointments for two key reasons. First, to gather comprehensive evidence about your service conditions, ensuring nothing is overlooked. Second, the VA has increased efforts to prevent fraudulent claims, often flagging single-appointment evaluations. While VetVantage operates fully within the law, multiple appointments help avoid delays and ensure a smooth process.
Why Multiple Appointments Matter:
- Ensures Accuracy: Each appointment helps verify and strengthen the information provided
- Increases Likelihood of an Increase: More medical evidence makes a stronger case for your claim.
- Builds a Medical History: A record of multiple visits with different providers reinforces that your condition has worsened over time
- Supports Your Claim: The more detailed and accurate the evidence, the higher the chances of the VA approving your increase request
Bottom Line:
More appointments = Stronger Evidence = Better Chances of an Increase.
