Bva Psychiatric C&p Evaluation Dec 27, 2007

[lu12]

Don't understand? last Wednesday I was surprise to see a VA social worker in front of my house. she told me that she was sent following the instruction from the Psy-C&P examiner and that she needed to performed an field inspection related to my claim.

I had no problem taking to her, let her in and we had almost a 2 hr. conversation. She did ask if she could talk to my wife and mother, I reply no problem with that gave her their phone Numbers and we are still waiting for her to call them.

Does any body had had this experience before? And what it is the idea Beijing this move?

An unannounced visit is an evasion of your privacy. Do you live alone? You should request copies of all your medical records going back before you had your C&P.

"since I`m already 100% iu-pt in nature she said that she did not understood the reason for to be here or for the outfield inspection."

I guess she never hard of SMC.

If the VA declares you incompetent-it does not mean some distant relative can come and get your stuff-

you can appeal it too if you wish-

VA declared my husband competent but SSA declared him incompetent and called him up and told him he could appeal this with the SSA but he told SSA he liked it.

This is NOT legal incompetency-but in your case- you would need to be cautious as to who would receive your check-

Do you get SSA too? If SSa didnt declare you incompetent and the VA doc didnt -you can fught this-

I agree with TSSnave -they are looking for a fiduciary-but they send letters and make an appointment for this most of the time-

(are you sure she was really from the VA?)

Hi Berta,

Yes, I am getting my SSA too - since 1994 and Iam getting my $$$ through direct deposit. Also the (SW) came from a referral and b/c a Psy C&P evaluation. I said this before I have nothing to hide, it is fine with me I treated this person with respect and I did cooperate with no attitude, and she did, ID her self with a VAMC badge.

lu12, just a few questions.....

Since she (VA Social Worker) came with some papers, did she leave you any papers?

Did you sign ANY papers?

Are you 100% IU-PT ? (you said in 'nature')

If you arent 100% iu-pt, have you applied for that?

Do keep in touch, still curious about the official connection for the unnannounced/unexpected personal home visit,

Best to Ya! cg

Basically she came with a some papers, my guess some form of a guideline for her to follow/through, she came straight forward and said that she came b/c the psy c&p evaluation.

since I`m already 100% iu-pt in nature she said that she did not understood the reason for to be here or for the outfield inspection.

I filed for s-c for a psy disorder secondary to my s-c lb and r. knee condition on 1998, it is been a long trip almost 10 years. lets see whats is going to happen next????

Its one thing to have someone you trust handle your funds and it is another thing to have some VA hack do it. In Texas there was a scandal of how the VARO there would appoint ex VA employees to manage money for Veterans and than screw them. And of course we had in the past our own Hadit Member who the VA appointed a lawyer and had to beg for money that was his.

In Feb. I* was quizzed about my ability to handle my money. He asked how I paid my bills and I told him that I used my computer to do it. That was about that.

This is a very personal thing sort of like can you drive your own car. At least that is the way I look at it.
