" Rater" Going Crazy With My File From Bva?

[Josephine]

Well stupid is as stupid does. That is me!

Just got off the telephone with my rep.

He has finally, " according to him" been allowed to see my file

"as it is being rated".

Said the Rater just may send me for another C&P for rating purposes.

I will absolutely not go for another C&P.

I will give it all up first. I will not go in that place for a third time in 4 years.

The Judge just made his decision from the BVA March 8, 2008.

Can the VA do this to me ?

He said with the GAF of 40

those two quack psychiatrist gave me

I may be declared " Incompetent."

What can they do to me next because of this retro?

I can't take anymore.

Betty:

Please wait and see exactly what is going on and if you have to take another C&P you can always tell them to rate with the evidence that they have, I do think that after all of this that of it takes a C&P to save it you might reconsider after you have some time to get back

This in no way means I am saying I don't think this is outrageous.

Pete,

What happens if the nasty psychiatrist writes down that I am incompetent?

I certainly do not trust any of them at that center.

What do they do with my money?

Spend it for me.

Betty, Please do not speak with your VSO at this point in time, s/he's sounding really very unprofessional and lacking empathy. Wait until you have a decision in writing. I know that you have extended extraordinary energy on the telephone with all kinds of people - - and up until this point it's all been necessary and good. But now, your anxiety is making you unable to sit still . . . TRUST IN YOUR HIGHER POWER!!

You got this far and you didn't do it all alone: you were guided and supported by forces greater than yourself; and that same loving and intelligent force (some call God) will not abandon you now. I'm sure you are wound up like a top, I know I am just reading your current staus, but we are all in this together, OK Sister, fellow Muskateer ;-)

IMHO . . . . DON'T TALK to your VSO on the phone; it's making you CRAZY. You tell him politely you simply want to wait for the rating decision in the mail, in writing. Yell him you have a cold or the flu and can't talk. Let it go for a few days. You will do whatever you have to to finish this claim and wrap it up. Another C@P is NBD, really. You'll have someone in there with you this time.

You will have full DUE PROCESS OF LAW. Every administrative decision can be appealed.

Hope I don't offend your good intentions in any way!!

HANG IN THERE.

Wings,

No way have you offended me.

I always trust your advice.

Yes, I always trust my higher power, as he has been at my side and protected me from harm.

I will finish up this mess, but it sure has been one.

Thanks for your post,

Betty

Surely they won't send you back to THOSE two.

It sounds like it could be a safety check. They are going to be paying a HUGE amount of retro - so if there is a any question as to your compentency - and they don't check it out - and they send a huge amount - and you "mismanaged it" - they might be afraid of their own liability.

However, your reports talk about ANXIETY - and the competency should only cover your ability to handle your finances. Your record doesn't reflect ANY question of competency in how you handle your finances.

If they are basing this on your GAF score for the quacks -Perhaps your VSO could point out to them that of ALL the doctors the BVA found to be credible - it was NOT them.

Without any other doctors questioning your compentancy to handle your financial affairs - they quacks who were NOT found to be credible - THEIR opinion on your competency level should not even be given ANY weight in this matter.

And watch out for a ploy in trying to push you into "proving " your competency - so they can use the back door to rate you at less than 100 percent.

Keep your eye on - Yes, I have crippling anxiety - and I can manage my money just fine, thank you. Tell them you are too busy to go to a C&P, as your schedule is a bit full with your meetings with your stock brokers.
