ptsd Scheduled For C And P

[matt]

Had a Voice Message Yesterday informing me of an upcoming Appointment at the Winston Salem VA outpateint clinic or June 24 Tursday at 1:00pm. I wasnt;'t sure if I had set one up. I have yet to receive the usual letter explaining the appt. I was told to bring in social security numbers for my wife and children as well as marriage certificate and annual household earrnings and health insurance information.

I called this morning and apparently i have 2 C and P's for tomorrow. they just told me on tuesday....very frustrating. I am total of 60% 50 for PTSD and 10 for tinnitue. I currneyl have a claim for orthopedic as well as to up my PTSD. has anybody ever experienced this, or had the VA ask for SSN numbers for all fmaily members, sicne they already have them as well as health insurance information and total household income?

thanks matt

matt,

You can also go to the Release of Information (ROI) Office at your VAMC

to request copies of your exams/VAMC records and sign the release and they will probably

print them out for you right then.

Sometimes they may not release mental health (MH) exams/VAMC MH records

without having the providers permission first.

just called back as i was not satisfied with the answer i got. spokw with the same worthless person from before. Asked if the appts where c and p or means testing. he assured me they were c and p's. apparently they are not alloweed to discuss the type of c and p over the phone, but i am sure they are both for PTSD one is at 1 and the other is at 2:20...i would like to get to 70% ptsd, we shall see......

They pretty much did the same thing to me also. The doctor told me the reason for not telling the vet is so they dont "prep" for it!!! Go figure....
