ptsd You All Aint Going To Believe This........

[yoggie2]

Well as some here know I'm a awaiting a decision on my claim and a member I keep in contact with suggested I check on it and have my VSO check in on my claim too and see where there at with it...Well, I called my SO(VFW)a week ago and he said he'd get back with me so I called yesterday to see what was going on and this is what he dropped on me ... "well since you missed your C&P's there going a head and going to rate your claim as is, I did know you missed them (MY C&P's)?.."

This is where I freaked out on this guy (not his fault) I went to BOTH C&P'S!!!!! they are full of SH*T they are trying to skip my C&P's because they are both fully in my favor like you would not believe this is nothing more than a trick to drag my claim out another 2 years this is plane BS period. They VARO tried to screw me and got screwed and this is there way of "accidentally screwing up my claim." Then in 2 years I’ll need more C&P’s because mine are out dated. I faxed him (MY VSO the "VFW") my C&P’s to give to them that they suggested I missed and did not show up for..

This is a fine example yall, if you do not keep up with your claim “YOUR SELF” you can be screwed as easy as that! I was able to obtain a copy of my "PHSYC PTSD" exam and the only way you can get it is by request only! I requested it over 2 weeks ago and still did not receive it. How ever I was able to obtain a copy 2 weeks ago along with my "Nero Exam" and now they know I have it after yesterday and I am not suppose to so they tried to pass it off as I did not attend the exam, brother you can not relax for 1 minute you have to ride this sucker to the end and watch the VARO all the way to the end as well. My VSO called me back and the VARO wanted to thank me for the copies of the exams and they are going to rate part of my claim and send the rest back to the DRO officer, what a great bunch and very helpful that Indy VARO..Brother you go to sleep on them and you are screwed for sure..

Over the years the VA has claimed that I skipped two C&P exams. One exam they cancelled themselves and the other exam they did not even notify me about until my claim was denied. I appealed both denials and won in the end, but I think it shows gross incompetence. They don't know what they are doing and they don't care. Get the money anyway you can and just &^^% them.

That just goes to show there is a HUGE communication disconnect within the VA. This is totally unecceptable and brings up the great "what if" as in what if you didn't catch this mistake? The "what if" would result in your claim being denied since you "missed" the exam. The VA 99% of the time deny those that miss exams so good catch on your part.

Well, that is something. The C&P they sent me to the second time was much more favorable for sure. Having copies of everything is everything.

Yes. And if they can push you over the edge like they have so many of us, they get the bonus money & we get dead.

End of claim. Job well done for the rater and a pat on the back. Believe me, they could care less.

With any C&P thats favorable, they can pick out what words they like and leave the ones they don't, as long as it comes up with the lowest possible rating, or no rating at all.

The Mob takes better care of their own.

At least the Mob guys usually just put a slug through your brain. The VA likes to torture you to death over decades. That is your reward for serving your country.

Kind of - sort of - a conflict of interest?

Yeap!
