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?

Okay, I understand that you are 100% pt, sorry, wasnt sure when I saw "p/t in nature". Sorry to hear you are 100% pt, that you have had this going for 10 years, but glad to hear something is in the works, as am sure you are. I hope you have someone to represent you, doesn't hurt to at least have a second pair of eyes for details. Or you could call 1-800- .... to see where your application is in the process, or submit a Iris inquiry. A VSO could help if you have one. Wishin' ya the best, cg

Glad to see u cg, and as your ???

Okay, lu12, Hadit is a good place to visit for info. Myself, I have more VA appointments coming up in the next few months for this and that. I hope they are just one at a time. Will be visiting the psych for my requested mdd increase, an interesting cHaRaCtEr if I ever met one. Meanwhile, at least my VA paperwork is all in for the moment, my family still loves me and we had apple pie for dessert tonight. God Bless you too! cg

cg The problem that I get most of the time with these VHA Medical Practitioners is that they dont like to write in detail about your medical conditions as they are require to do - well any way that it is nit good for the VA.

Some times they tell you to bring what ever medical evidence of private treatment - but then again they just write anything but not what really matters of those private records they leave out diagnoses, and most important their independent opinion.

Of my last two c&p both examiner decline to accept new medical evidence from several IME. I had 4 va attending psychiatric and each and every one of them have pay more attention to my personal matters rather than be talking about how my physical conditions are getting worst with the time and how the same conditions affect my psychiatric disorders. you just get tired and consumed by the way the system works as an example I had this attending psy 50-55 year old lady and every time I walked out of the psy room I felt worst than before. So here we got a lady that always close her electronic notes the same way one single paragraph, 10 sentence GAF 60 even she new I had a my SSA benefits and my 100% iu-pt and an IME - IMO Dx: PTSD and she never-ever discussed or asked about any of these facts.

cg, what Iam trying to said is that for your mdd and the attending Psychiatric you need to work it out my friend, lol

Thanks, I agree that some of the docs are 'brief' in their notes. I found out that there are some 'acceptable' standardized notes their bosses prefer to see as a result of patients visits. Course, I never ask if there is any recording device turned on. Got a very good letter to include for my increase from my doc. This other new psych doc is, uh, flighty, funny, nice but....gee cant put my finger on it. An enertaining vaudeville magician seems a good description for now. Will see what my next impression is.

I will take your advice as well, concerning a clear and acceptable diagnosis that the patient understands and accepts as well. I'd guess its ok to probably ask the doc straight out 'what can you do for me considering all that I have going on?' Maybe I'll enertain myself, write out 20 possible answers, leave em at home, then I will also ask for a copy of his notes after the visit, won't hafta wait 20 - 30 days for a copy then, eh? hopin' for answer that works for me. Meanwhile, best to ya, cg

good idea,, like a nice and curious patience (you dont have or have a very poor insight about your psy. disorders remember their may be other combinations like anxiety, panics attacks, headaches, then go and ask straight out what he can do to help you. on the progress notes that is what i do i mine every day. some times they send you what you dont real want.

hope the best for you.
