ptsd Ptsd Exam

[sgmdae]

I got a call, not a letter telling me I have PTSD C&P on 8/27/2009, I applied on 6/2/2009, why so fast

I have no prior Medical, and very little VA, no dx yet by My Dr., just medication and very littlle conversation???

I am getting a Contract Dr, Why? Is this good or Bad

When called the DR office, guess who answer the Examing Dr, we talk clear up the address, and I asked do have my information packet, she said No, just a worksheet, What is this about, why submit a packet if it doesn't get to the DR

Does this tell me that they are Fast Tracking, just to get it over

Female Doctor, just my guess, this is a new project for her. Contracting for the VA, I don't want to be her project to show how she going to save the VA $

I want to be prepare, get a fair C&P, and get a accurate rating.

Just confused about the quickness, with no VA medical finding as of yet

I have a contract doctor, so I don't think she has anything on me.

I talked to her by accident, and she said all she had was a worksheet???

Thats what concerns me,if she read my documentation she would understand better then a discussion

Does she have contact with the rater

[sgmdae]

Does the doctor get influence by the rater on the decision

Just tell the C&P doctor what happens on your worst day due to PTSD. The more nervous you are the better. Tell her your worst experience in Nam. Don't leave out any blood or guts if she asks. If you can't sleep the night before so much the better. Drink plenty of coffee and show up on time.

[WHOLESALE]

If it's just an exam without any tests "yes" give it your worst day. Just in case (rare) that they have you take MMPI-2 or BMI personality/psych test make sure you answer everything for a NEUTRAL day. If you give these test your worst day the test will come back exaggerated.

You don't won't that to happen. B)
