Question
meghp0405
Just read a report on Military.com concerning the recent VA's inspector generals investigation concerning the overpayment to disabled veterans. The report claimed that the VA overpaid 943 million to 100% TDIU veterans. VA's failure to keep up on managing scheduled exams for those receiving TDIU. Many veterans were found to have gone back to work and in some cases conditions had gotten better.
The VA is supposed to keep track and monitor thoses that are TDIU. I don't have to explain why that task fell through the cracks. The increase of claims, the backlogs, minum staff/reviewers/adjudicators all led to this result.
The report didn't state how often they are to be brought back. They are having a difficult time completing the C/P exams now. I have reviewed some rating decisions on where these veterans (some not all) are being brought back on a yearly basis if they have a rating for PTSD.
I sincerely hope that I am wrong on this, but I see the VA (more so after this report) bringing these TDIU veterans back and reducing their ratings. Somone in VA right now is raising their eyebrow saying, we can save some money. Yes that was speculation, however, everybody on this site has been around awhile and seen quite a bit of crap dished out by the VA.
I can only give my 2 cents on what I see, but I believe each veteran in the TDIU catagory, needs to be aware and should contact their doc's and get back for additional appointments, get this annotated and annotated again and again.
