Hello everyone,
We have a few questions, we would appreciate your responses so we can make a determination of what we should do over the next few weeks or months while we fiqure out where we are going to move.
In the mail today my husband got his very first ever letter for a C&P exam. We needed to go to the SO, we took the letter with us. These are the things discussed and the questions.
1. The C&P exam is schedule in 11 days. According to the SO it is with a very nice person. This person can do the exam for everything but the PTSD portion of the claim. The person is an NP. Is this going to be a problem? Can an NP truly assess DMII, CAD, atherosclerosis, HBP, hyperlipidemia, peripheral neuropathy, IBS, ED, tennitis, hearing loss and possibly PTSD?
My husband has a report form Dr. Bash, A report from SSA M.D. specialty in internal medicine- plus various radiology reports from multiple MDs.plus MD primary
He has 1 PHD w/ VA for depression- 1 PHD doctor with SSA for PTSD with depression- 1 VA contract LCFW for PTSD with depression
your opinion
2. The SO said that the RO also sent a work questionaire. Does any one know what this might be? My husband just was awarded the SSDI and he also applied for TDIU when he sent in Dr. Bash's report to the RO.
your opinion
3. We gave the SO our P.O. Box number for our mail and a cell phone number, we will be out of our home in about 15 days so we wanted her to have a way to contact us. We feel that we should leave this claim in the current RO until my husband is SC'd for something. She says to put it on "vacation status"? Then move when we find a place to live.
your opinion
4. Will my husband get an appointment for the PTSD right away or could that be a while off?
your opinion
Thanks everyone just trying to make smart decisions,
Jangrin and Chuckles
