vet201060 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I would call them right now and inform them of the late letter and to reschedule you for the C&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted May 14, 2010 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 14, 2010 Ranger, I had the exact same thing happen to me back in March. I took the letter to the C&P office at the VAMC and showed them the letter date and postmark date. They apologized and rescheduled my appointment for a week later. This seems to be happening a lot lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted May 14, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 14, 2010 It happened to me once but I never got a letter. I got a phone call the day before on my cell phone. They asked if I received a letter and I said no then they read my address and they had a totally different person. Same last name. I got lucky. Chaos breeds confusion. Get this mistake fixed before they can use it against you. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted May 14, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 14, 2010 I think the VA is on a hiring binge. The joint is probably in chaos as John says. They advertise on the military channel for medical personnel all the time, and even pay a bounty for current doctors who bring other doctors to work for the VA. Of course, they still may cut off your leg when you go to the ER for a sore throat. I have missed two C&P exams in the past. One the doctor did not show up, and they blamed me and denied my claim. The other I never got a notice, and they denied my claim. I got it right eventually. This is why I am paranoid and hate society. The VA did it to me. I used to just be crazy.

sharon Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Make sure you let the Regional Office know of the missed appointment and ask them to reschedule you. They are the ones that request the C&P exam. The hospital has already sent the report that you were a no show. You can send an IRIS request or call the 800 number. I would do it via IRIS so that there is a paper trail. Good Luck.
