Have you been denied VA benefits even after a favorable C&P exam?

VA-accredited attorney Ed Farmer exposes one of the VA’s most frustrating tactics: “rework exams”—when the VA quietly asks examiners to change positive opinions, often in high-value claims with big retroactive payouts on the line.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

- What a rework exam really is and why it’s not about quality control.
- How this tactic unfairly targets veterans with strong claims, sometimes without another exam.
- Steps you can take if you’re hit with a rework request.
- How attorneys use the VA’s case management system to push back.
- Key case law (Mariano v. Principi, Douglas v. Shinseki) that can strengthen your appeal.
- Strategies for Higher-Level Reviews and Board of Veterans’ Appeals cases.

If you’re facing a rework exam, you can fight back and win. This episode gives you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to protect your benefits and hold the VA accountable.

🎯 Don’t miss this—your claim could depend on it.
