C&p Inaccurate Report

Both C&P exams for my TDIU claim had inaccurate info. One said I do not drive due to my SC conditions. I am licensed but do not drive long distances or when I am sleepy.

The other describes an incident of MST inaccurately. However, the MST does not factor in either condition. Should future treatment reveal otherwise, I don't want that to be a problem.

Is it wise to submit statements correcting these before a claim is decided? Seems to me that leaving the driving one uncontested could lead to fraud charges if it impacts the TDIU outcome.

Good move being concerned about future impact; I'd submit a 21-4138 http://www.vba.va.gov/pubs/forms/VBA-21-4138-ARE.pdf correcting the erroneous information and include any paperwork that supports yo

Snake Eyes, I totally agree with NK above. I previously submitted a 21-4138 correcting errors and omissions in a C & P examiner's report. My 21-4138 was accepted by the VA and I believe it hel

Glad to see the claim is moving and good luck. My claim is in the Prep for Decision phase, so maybe we will both get some good news soon.

Glad you made it thru the exams, but in my opinion I don't think this stuff is worth fighting. In my record at one time it stated that I was a 42 yr old female that was a Recovering Alcoholic, in fact I am male and 32 years old. All I did was remove the paper from file, no big deal. If you look at all your C&P exam reports and medical records, I guarantee you will find more inaccurate information then you care too. You can always do what makes sense to you, just be careful rocking the boat. Good luck

A good listen

A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served.

Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with.

Thanks all...

My Dr. Said VA wouldn't accept corrections in any case, and the errors may not be something that could hurt me down range. Maybe I'm just a little OCD when it comes to MY information :-)

Snake Eyes,

I totally agree with NK above. I previously submitted a 21-4138 correcting errors and omissions in a C & P examiner's report. My 21-4138 was accepted by the VA and I believe it helped overcome the errors and omissions in the C & P report because my claim in this particular case was successful.

It will not hurt to submit the 21-4138. Also attach any documentation supporting the info in your 21-4138 if you have any. Even if the VA will not correct an error in their documentation, I think they would post your 21-4138 along with the document to show your disagreement with the document in your C-file. It is kind of like when something negative or untrue is posted in your credit records, you can submit a letter to the credit bureau stating your side of the story. JMO

Snake eyes,

I was wondering the same thing. I Audio C & P exam notes state that I fueled aircraft on the flight deck of a carrier, and some other info regarding the navy. I actually fueled aircraft on the FLIGHT LINE in the Air Force. I too am concerned about it affecting the decision and future outcome.

      Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection

      Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,

      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Post in Chevron Deference overruled by Supreme Court

      broncovet posted a post in a topic,

      VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.

    • Post in Re-embursement for non VA Medical care.

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Post in What is the DIC timeline?

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
