Va Shrink Screwing Up My Claim

[labonte1000]

hi, I think the va shrink is trying to screw up my claim. I'm 10% for anxiety and, I recently got a copy of my medical recored, and she says that I always had this since childhood and that I was a fussy and fitful child. which is all totally wrong, I wrote her an email telling to change this because I never said that, I said when I was young, I was sometime a little on the she side, but never had anxeity when I was young, Do the VA shrink try to do this to screw up claims or what. This is BS! What can I do, My VA primary care told me to file for an increase, which I already did, but when they find this i'm going to lose the 10% i already had because of some dumb shrink. please help what can I do to get rid of this or change this.

Hi everyone, I talked to the VA patient advocate and he emailed my VA mental health provider and this is what she wrote to him and me.

Hi—Listen, I just got done clarifying some things with your agent—a Mr. someone from Boston ???

Anyway, he shared your email to him with me, and I feel like crap that I may have misstated anything you told me… I hope you’ll call/come in Wed., so I can apologize, AND correct whatever I had written that wasn’t accurate—same goes for a brief note of Donna Scavones’ that I think was put into my note, or the other way around—and then was sort of up to be taken out of context…

I meant for nothing to be said in your notes other than I gether this from your words, other stuff from your presentatiojn/dialogue with me, etc.

I think the old medical adage—where my girl friend’s chest x-rays

s were interpreted as “not impressive” by a surgeon DIDN’T mean she didn’t have an awesome chest—she just didn’t need anything—like a tumor—surgically removed!!!

Soplease forgive me if I mistyped anything—I know I mixed a female relative up with your grandmother—anyway—I think things were very poorl y interpreted//or communicated BY ME, and I wrote the man back and told him so.

Please let me correct whatever is OFF… I’ll wait to hear from you—This is clearly MY ERROR—but I don’t think I fouled you up, if my corrections to him make sense to him. Thanks, Mary ellen

Good for you! I think you have a very honest doctor that just made a mistake. I believe I would stay with this one, as they are far and in between.

Yep. I agree. Sound like the doc is on YOUR side - and will do what he can to help you. And since he wants to help - HE might write you up something that will REALLY help. :)

You have your head on straight and now you are ready to reel in the large benefit.

Hang in there, for the best is yet to come.

I like the sound of your doctor and the way he handled your disagreement with his opinions or incorrect write up in your visit.

As Free said, this doctor may be just to one to help you receive your much earned benefits.

Always,

Betty
