Letter From Psychiatrist

Question

  • HadIt.com Elder

Okay, FINALLY we are getting the doctor to write a letter, not just progress notes, about my husband's current condition. The doctor says he doesn't know what to say. He wants me to tell him. I've gone over the rating schedule for 70%, and I plan to give him that so he can compare it to my husband, and then he can..... do what? Copy it and apply it to my husband with examples? I'll post the sample letter I've drafted for him, and you tell me what you think. Please help, this has taken almost a year to get the doctor to do this, so we need it to be accurate and in VA lingo! Thanks for all replies!

That is if you are applying for SSI instead of SSD/ The Social Security for disabled on SSI Have income requirements and Social Security has only the Medical or Injury. You should go after it again.

You might be able to keep your original effective date as they screwed up. Sort of like a VA CUE.

The Type of Separation says Discharge; the Character of Service says Honorable; the Separation Code says JFL; the Narrative Reason for Separation says Physical Disability - Severence Pay

What does all that mean? Is it right?

Southern,

The Separation Code is referred to as an Alphabetical SPN Code.

Here is a link to SPN Codes to show what the Separation Code JFL means.

http://www.utahvva.org/documents/spn%20codes_alpha.htm

JFL - Physical Disability - Severance Pay or Juvenile Offender

JFL - Physical disability. entitled to severance pay., USN - Officers

JFL1 - Physical disability with severance pay, USAF

JFL2 - Physical disability that existed prior to service but was aggravated by the Service, with severance pay, USAF

Hope this helps a vet.
