Conflict Of Interest

[Rhodesia]

:) Well bad news for me for my C&P exam, the regional office said that since I work for the VA I can not be seen at the VA hospital where I work for any service connected related issues. The regional office stated that "It is a conflict of intrest" so my current C&P exam is no longer valed and I will be given a new appointment at the nearest VA Hospital. Also I can not been seen as an outpatient for any service connected injuries, letter stated the same thing again so I can be seen as an outpatient but it can not be service connected, (Non Service Connected). what is the VA coming too? :)

To the best of my knowledge it's always been that way. It would be too easy for a couple of VA employees, to work together, and get fraudelent claims approved.

Sorry that happened but don't give up.

How far away are you from the next closest VAMC? Do you know how to get there? Remember travel pay...hummm I get paid for the closest VAMC not the one I have been treated at since the mid 80's. So now will they pay you travel pay to your closest one or the one they send you to? I think they should for the one they send you to, but I do not make the decisions for the VA or VAMC.

Too bad you have to get another C&P, and I hope it will be favorable.

As far as being seen as an outpatient for nsc disabilities, they may not want to either as there could be such a narrow window or crossover with diseases/disabilities/diagnoses, etc.
