Notice Of New Exam?

[Papa]

Just received a notice from the VA that a private facility (QTC) will perform an examiniation to determine my current level of disability. They do not say what type of examination, but since I have moved from prepartion of decistion back to gathering evidence, it will be a general examination. The first one was in 2010. Now, they have made me wait over 24 months since the last exam, and now they decide to do another one. I will most likely have to wait another 24+ months, and then get another examination. The VA can do this forever. I will go to this exam, but it really upsets me that they can keep doing this trickery. I do not think they care about my current rate of disability. They, the VA, noticed how old this was, and it was making their time look bad, so to help themselves, they said we will make him do another examination and the time will start anew. They are looking out for themselves, not me. JMHO

I don't know what to say but "Just Unbelievable!" ~~ the Va that is. Is this an IU exam perhaps?

they have been known to issue a decision, shortly after the Exam also. Hang tight.

Do you know what would be very helpful to us Vets, and that would be if the VA in their letter would tell us why the exam, what it is for, etc. Instead of calling the 1-800 Peggy number, or waiting on QTC.

Like i said on your other post,my guess is,you probabaly will be getting a competency exam,to see whether or not you can handle your own funds

Mobie,

Thanks. I knew I saw something about this, but lost it in Post Heaven . I had never thought about this, do you know if it will be another PTSD type exam? My wife does the family accounts in our household, not that I can not do it, but because I do volunteer work and keep accounts for non-profit organizations.

Papa, you can always call QTC and find out. Thats what I did after Va sent me a letter stating that they were going to schedule me for an exam. Their main office is in San Antonio. Tel.# 1-800-545-9448 Ext 1446

They are really nice folks.

QTC called me before they mailed my appt packet to verify my mailing address and to ask if I live closer to Houston or San Antonio, to schedule the appointment.
