Rater Is Moving Fast!

[Josephine]

Hi to all,

I am most definitely in a maze and can't get out, for now I am in a daze!

Here is the latest and what I would call my last stand!

The Rating Specialist at The Appeals Management Center has sent my claims file for the second time back to the two ( quack) psychiatrist.

The Rater wants Answers. She wants a " New Opinion".

At this time the boss of the two quacks has the orders and demands.

They must answer each of their accusations and changing of my medical records.

She wants to know how in the world the following are in agreement.

My Doctor Of 30 years - Result of service

First C&P - More Likely than not and more likely a result of service

Military doctor - letter May 10, 2005, to clairfy his shorthand that the librium was for nervous/ anxiety and the cafergot was for my headaches.

Dr. Jones Military Psychiatrist - In consulation for nervesness and headahes and irrability.

Dr. McMahon - Military Board Certifed Psychiatrist - Consultation for same and recommends discharge. Recommends discharge for unsuitability.

Pastor Burch- three letters did not have nervouness or take any meds before service. Has known me for 50 years. Anxiety began in service

THE BVA AND AMC WANT TO KNOW WHEN DID HER ANXIETY BEGIN?

The two Psychiatrist - does not APPEAR she acquired a psychiatric disorder in service.

IF THE TWO PSYCHIATRIST DO NOT WISH TO GIVE A NEW OPINION. I AM TO HAVE ANOTHER C&P WITH ONE DOCTOR.

* I WILL NOT GO IN THAT ROOM BY MYSELF.*

If it comes down to another C&P, what in the heck do I do. I am to find out next week, if I have another C&P.

Do I begin with showing the new doctor the proof of the lies in that dumb stupid C&P by the two psychiatrist?

It has to get better, don't it.

Always,

Josephine

I wonder how a C&P exam in 2007 will determine if you have an aquired psychiatric disorder from the 1960's. I would think that your SMR's and statements from the doctor who treated you in service or shortly after would be the key. However, I think it is a good sign to be getting a C&P exam now. I would tell them everything about how you were fine before the service and how nervous you were during and after. Be sure you make it to that exam. I think you are going to get SC out of this before it is done. They probably want to try and estabish an effective date to cut short some potential retro at the 100% level. It is all about money with these guys.

Thanks John999,

I haven't received the letter yet, but did talk to the medical center and I know that their boss has the questions. It is sort of worded " New Medical Opinion" with the option of another C&P.

The lady at the VAMC said that she would call me just as soon as the Doctor made his decision.

If he wants me down there, I will go, but someone is defintely going back with me this time. I have already placed that request with the lady that does the scheduling.

This is really becoming a joke anyway. I filed in 1978 and they cannot get around that point. I started meds in the Navy and again in 1967 and they cannot get around that either.

I think it as you said, " Money".

Always,

Josephine

You can expect the AMC and their C&P window shopping raters to disregard favorable evidence in your SMR's.

Until the AMC and rating specialists are held accountable and prosecuted for their illegal acts to cheat veterans & widows out of their earned benefits, it will be business as usual for returning troops and the rest of us.

Betty, darlin, for goodness sake do not go into this new C&P and start dredging up the old C&P with the two nutbird psykeeeatrists. That'll "turn off" the new examiner quicker than about anything I can think of, and put him/her on the defensive immediately.

Enter this "new" C&P just like it was your FIRST C&P (in other words, you have a chance for a "fresh start" what with them granting you a "new" C&P).

"G-d bless you and keep you,

and let his Light shine down upon you.

And, give you Peace."

Hi Josephine

That s what I need a fast rater, but only after the AMC log in my letter and IMO from Dr. Bash.

I agree with LarryJ, if they do order another C&P, then start fresh.

Happy Trails

Thanks so much, Larry J,

What a Sweet and Kind thing to say.

I feel that the Rater or the Rating Supervisor must be pretty honest, as this particular C&P went back to the two psychiatrist in October 2006 and they refused to provide their etiology, rationale for their decision and to reconcile their differences.

The male Psychiatrist to date has not signed that C&P.

The C- file and all the information that I have provided with questions to be answered concerning that particular C&P is at the Director of the Department of Psychiatry.

I guess the VA has given up on those two.

If I do go for another C&P, he will have read the whole scoop.

I can't discuss too much of what happened in the C&P , because I don't remember it.

I see bits and pieces and no more. It took me 7 months to remember the nurse on duty that I saw afterwards to secure her statement of treatment.

When I couldn't rememeber, I just knew that I had had a stroke or something.

I will insist that my daugter be present with me this time.

The lady from the VAMC said that she would call me next week to see if Dr. Sxxxx wanted to see me and to schedule an appointment convenient for me.

Thanks bunches Larry J,

I don't think that you wife would mind too much, if I call you a " Sweetie".

Always so appreciative,

Josephine
