Phone Call Fro Va Administrator

[Boomer1]

Hi, I have Prostate Cancer, over 2 years ago I had the Prostate removed, I have been on 100% disability since, I had a C&P a year ago last April, kept me at 100%. I always go to the VA Doctors whenever I am scheduled. Today I received a phone call from a Mr Brackford, he left a message on the phone, just saying he was a VA administrator and that I needed to call him. Has anyone ever had this experience. When I called the number he gave me, there was no answer. Anyone have any ideas what this may be about.

I don't know about the call but it should go thru the VA switchboard, so someone should've answered. Beware of scammers!!! I'd be concerned about your 100% if it's for your prostate. They usually award a temporary 100%, until about 6 months after the surgery, and then reduce and rate on any residuals. Be prepared for a reduction, soon, if you're only rated for the prostate cancer. If they do reduce it and try to recover any overpayment, be sure to request a hearing within the specified time constraints or the reduction will take place and it'll be a fight to get it back, if you can. jmo

I would call again and see what they have to say, It infuriates me when they call leave a message and than don't answer their phone. Does he work for VAMC Hospital or VARO?

Just talked to VA Admin, he was just calling to setup a consult with the urologist, wanted to check to see if date and time was OK. Thanks for the advice. I just thought it was unusual to get a phone call and not a letter.
