Qtc Lap Dogs In Evidence

Rate this question

Question

Attached are two docs that were isolated from the VA QTC Lap Dog Exam which states i have no lumbar problems, at all! Negative SLR etc. He did not have the benefit of my MRI's and Neurology consoluts which are in complete contratdiction to his findings but i have attached the 2 docs and will show them to the IME on Wednesday since evidently the VA tossed everything else out the door and just went with this. Weird thing is he increased my heart and feet issues. that makes me wonder if my heart is ready to give out if he would straight lie regarding my lumbar. How can he dispute his fellow doctors, who are neurologists, and MRI's that indicate all sorts of problems with x-rays, which not one doctor, to include the Physical Therapy people deny i have multiple lumbar emphirical evidence there are injuries. He does not bother with the SC part, he just says there are no problems. now keep in mind i don't grag myself in place and play games with them, I just tell them the facts and let them do with it as they may. evidently they choose to make a fool of himself. One look at either MRI cooks his soory to nothing but a blatant lie, which the va to and then added just in case that was good enough, they say in any event the injuries were not

sc. So what, there is nothing wrong with my lumbar and the neurologists and mri's are lies or he lied and the injuries are not

sc. I can't put all my mri's and the docs that denied me the lumbar but they rode the fence and said nothing wrong with my back and not sc anyway.

Gheex louise, this has got to be hilarious. negative SLR and the the mri straight says the is pressure on the S1 nerve root. how can they have it both ways? I will point this mess out to the neorologist and see what she says. I will try to maintain my calm.

PS I was SLR positive in Durham with the VA Neurologist:

SLR on left at 75/contralateral at 75 degrees to 1 leg. Well what?

Toe walk weak on left.

That sucks I can't really think of anything but factual rebuttal using your Medical Records and any support from Medical who are not biased.

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

I agree with what Pete is saying. Without your own medical evidence to rebutt the QTC the VA will accept those facts. The system is &^^%$$^ but that is the system we have. What is happening to you has happened to most here. I have C&P exams where I thought they must have been talking about another veteran besides me. That is always a possiblity. You win by being persistent and having medical evidence. It may take years but you will win.

so of course that does suck. I have attached 1 mri and some additional info to prove that i'm not just talking garbage, but on the one hand, according to their own dr's etc i have injuries, then they hire another dr, thar did n't even do a slr tect which came out negative, so there is nothing wrong with me regardless of the attached, then is case there were something wrong with my lumbar it is not SC acording to, well according to nobody because he sais nothing was wrong but in any event it was not SC because a reviewer said so.

Dr. King's conscience is soothed by money. That is the God that many in the professions kneel down and worship. The Golden Calf. The moneychangers are in the medical temple.

When you win you should sick the IG on him and also the State Board of Medical Examiners. Just my opinion but what a pile of worthless dog crap that Doctor is. What is really saf is he is so sold out that he thinks that is what the VA wants

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
