Had two C&P exams today the first for TBI. The exam started with the A_hole neurologist trying to tell me I probably dont have a TBI because it is not in my SMR. (even though i am diangnosed from the VA, built a nexus to the event, and am seeing a behavioral neurologist regulary at the VA who reccommended i apply for benefits.) After him telling me that we went through about a 35-45 minute evaluation and before i left he vaguely referenced that i may have a phych disorder and not tbi.
Now i am already service connect at %30 for adjustment disorder (I claim PTSD) so i know i have a physch disorder what does this have to do with my TBI.
After that i had a C&P for a re-evaluation of my ptsd based on a notice of disagreement and a request for IU I made in february. Dissapointingly enough it was with the same doctor as before who did not do a thourough or honest eval of my condition and this time only took 25 minutes for the exam. (which my pregnant wife had to drive me to 2 hours at 5 am because i cant drive anymore due to panic attacks.
Any thoughts about why these evals were so short would be appreciated and if it is common to be re-evaluated by the same C&P examiner. I also got approved for ssdi on my first attempt based only on VA evidence so it is very stressful to deal with the vagueness and unhelpfulness of the VA.
