Hello all I use San Diego VARO and I must say they have been really good to me I got out the Navy in June of 1995. I put my first claim in in May 2000 and in Nov 2000 I got 70 % then I put in my second claim in June 2002 and in Sept 2002 I got 80 % then in Oct 2004 I put in another claim and they gave me 100 % in Jan 2005. AUG 2007 I called and asked about CH-35 they opened me back up and sent me to a comp and pen doctor with Q T C and that doctor said I got better and they sent me a letter to reduce so I got a letter from my doctor at V A Loma Linda and sent it to them and just last week they gave me everything 100 % P T SCHD. I will give them a A +.

Hello everyone I got a 100 % letter from the VARO San Diego this week I got C H 35 and medical for my wife and son also this was after they wanted to reduce me to 90 % after a Q T C appt when the Doctor lied on his report and said I got better. I showed my V A doctor his report and he wrote my a letter and said I have not got better and I would not get any better.I sent this letter in and that was all I needed I did not go to a hearing they went by my doctor letter. In 2000 I was 70 in 2002 I went to 80 and in 2004 I went to 100 % and in 2008 I got 100 % P T scheduled. To all you VETs go to the doctor and get to know them and they give you what you want.

Yes Testvet my back is service connected and my mental health doctor at the V A wrote me a letter saying my back is causing the depression and my Gaf has been 50 for four years.

Hello everyone has anyone ever had a comp and pen eval dealing with major depression and the Q T C doctor said you got better and then the doctor that treat you at the V A write you a letter for the rating board that states you have not got better and you will not get any better due to the pain in your body( lower back ) do you all think they will go along with the treating doctor or will they go with the Q T C doctor. Also the ortho doctor wrote me a letter saying my back will never get any better.

Hello my Gaf 50 got me 70% in June 2004 now I had a Q T C exam 29 Nov 2007 and they are trying to lower me to 50% my G A F has been 50 from June 22,2004 to present with my treating doctor at the V A M C L L but the Q T C doctor said I got better. My treating doctor that work for the V A wrote me a letter that said I have not got any better and it is more likely than not I will do you all think San Diego R O will use his letter or the one from Q T C.

Jay they won't give it to you you will need to FOIA it from your VARO it took me 2 month's for a decision and it took me two month's to get a copy of my exam.

Yes Testvet I do go to Loma Linda

Yes betty yhis is the same guy like I said before I plan to put the brakes on him.

Yes Berta this is the same doctor I have also checked him out and as for now he is good to go but I plan to have the V A stop him from doing evals if I can.

Hello everyone I would like to say I received my doctor report from my 11-29-07 exam and I would like to let everyone know the doctor lied on me through out the entire report. He had to be talking about someone else because I did nothing he stated in his report. This is a few things he said I was calling the V A names using foul language he said I said I had a problem with my doctor at the V A and he said I was calling him names.He said I showed up early and was demanding to be seen he also said I wanted him to exam me for my back and not the depression he said I wanted to structure the interview he said I was very un-cooperative and hostile he said I hates talking about the miltary he said I occasional have difficulty performing activities of daily living. He used my old G A F of 51 dated 2004 and it was 2003 and it was used on my last rating decision of 2004 also he used a 61 GAF he gave me in June 2004 which was used on my last rating decision. From my last rating decision my doctor at the V A has given my a GAF of 50 13 times. Could this fool use my scores from my last rating decision. I have already asked for a hearing I also plan to try and have this doctor removed from doing C% P exams His name is Dr. Reynaldo Abejuela out of Riverside Ca.

Hey Spike could you please e-mail me at lflint33@hotmail.com so we could hook up.

Thank you all I will be at the VARO San Diego today with a letter requesting a personal hearing because I have not got any better. My back is 60 % and under 5293 that is as high as it could go. I go to all my DR. Appt and yes I do have on going treatment for my back and the depression and also my ortho Dr. at the V A put in his notes my back has progressivly got worse since 1986 when I hurt it and he said he anticipate it will relentlessly progressive affliction. Also I'm service connected for my lungs and now this is getting worse but they can't find out why and this is causing me a great deal of depression I told the Q T C Dr.Yes the Q T C Dr. was a real shrink. Like I said before my shrink at the V A has my gaf at 50 since June 4 2004 and he has had me on all kind of sike med from the start and I still take them and they don't work. He has told me time after that until they can control my back pain what he is treating me for will never get better. I don't understand I go see this clown one time and he give me a 51-55 gaf score. John 999 I am 41.I don't think they looked at my entire medical history because if my back is causing the problem and it hurt all the time and I can't sleep and do all the thing's I use to then how did I get any better. Berta yes my 100 is extraschedular and yes I get consistent treatment and medication for my back and for depression, also my back rating can't go any higher and yes he did note I have occasional difficulty performing daily living and I told him I have problems daily and my pain is always 8-9-10. I would like to add this to the DR. did not understand me that well and I did not understand him either. He told me on the way out don't worrie I agree with your treating Dr.

Hello everyone I need to find out the best way to deal with a letter to reduce my rating from 100 % to 90 % . I was 70 % for Depressive disorder secondary to chronic low back pain and now they want to drop it to 50 % . My back hurt me all the time it has not got better and my Dr at the Va has my gaf a 50 since 2004 and I go to Q T C and he give me a 51 gaf and said I was not cooperative and he noted I occasional difficulty have problems performing daily living and this is not true.
