Question

I retired last Fall and filed for VA disability compensation. I just received a big packet of forms/questionaires about each of the conditions for which I have applied. The VA is using a private facility (QVC) to contract with doctors to perform exams I guess. Anyhow, my C&P consists of seeing two Docs. One for the physical problems (IT Band Syndrome, Ulcers, Fasiculations, Benign Breast Neoplasms, and facial skin cancer scars) my second appt is with the Psychologist (GAD, Panic Disorder, Depression and OCD). I am confused about the mental health appointment, I have already been diagnosed with GAD and Panic Disorder which is in my records and documented. The questionaire for that is not too bad, just condition and meds. However I'm sure the doctor's appointment will be grueling and I am dreading opening up the Pandora's box on my emotional health. The emotional issues are tough and although the rest of the world would agree that stress for prolonged times causes significant changes physically, I guess the burden of proof is on us all. Back to the forms and reason for my post. I feel overwhelmed with the paperwork, I don't have a good VA rep in my area and pretty much did all of the va forms previously on my own. These med forms I just received ask pertinent questions about treatment and dates and doctors diagnosis and I am feeling bogged down with trying to sort through my med records all over again. Any suggestions from you guys on how to respond on these would be appreciated. As far as the psych visit, I am really nervous and worried, I don't want to fall back off the wagon so to speak by talking about it, but also want to let them know how my conditions had and continues to have a profound effect on me. I feel strong, but yet I know what an emotional and physical process it was to get to feeling this way (normal or close to it) but there are also times when functioning and mind chatter takes control and throws me off balance into the abyss.
Has anyone received paperwork from the contract specialist for c&p.
Any advice for the worry/nervous vet?
