Can Your Psychologist Make A Increase In Rating?

Rate this question


coastie72

Question

I feel pretty certain the answer is no.....However my psychologist has made comments to me that lead me to ask.

Things like it's going to take a little while but we are going to see what can be done to figure out a way for you to retire.

Or today as I left, he said one day coastie you are going to leave here in a much better mood.

On another note he said in his opinion I need to change jobs, or quit and start enjoying life that right now I am in a real bad place.

I have made it clear, I just can't quit my job for financial reasons.

I know this is probably just wishful thinking on my part. My VSO had told me I should wait to ask for an increase.

I see others have had this but today on my Apt Mgr. Module it

Patient: Coastie

PC Prov: John Q Smith

Total Appointment Profile * - New GAF Required 03/15/15 thru 12/10/17

Then a list of future appointments with the * out beside them.

Probably means nothing, but that is the first time that has been on my appointment note.

coastie,

Your psychologist can not increase your rating but he/she can certainly support your request for an increase in rating with their notes and reports showing an increase in the severity of your condition. JMO
