50 Minn TBI vets had unqualified doctors

That is only in one state.....I bet there are plenty more TBI vets who got lousy exams, nationwide

I saw that.  Its one scandal after another, after another with VA.  The VA's answer is always the same:

"Give us more money and we will fix the problem".    And the result is always the same.  Va, when they do get more money,squanders it on VA executive bonuses, parties, contract over runs on hosptials and the like, and the problem is the same next year or sooner.

Every claimant must go over their C & P exam results carefully, check the examiners credentials , and do what Semper Fi Geek here did, he found his QTC doc had been disciplined by the state for negligence.

It is the fact that we are forced to get C & P exams from unqualified examiners, or those who simply do not read the evidence properly,

that has caused a great part of the backlog.

Also the fact that many IMO/IMEs can overturn a lousy C & P doc, proves how incompetent these examiners are.

I wonder when veterans are really going to unite to do something about this 'conflict of interest' situation.

Berta thanks for the info. I know I had 6 concussions while in service, and he VA tried to say at first that all those concussions would not cause TBI. Sure enough, next C&P ordered a Brain Scan and there it showed up on the results, and I got diagnosed with PCS this year. Just dont get what it is going to take for the Govt to accept Responsibility for these Crappy Wars and the Damage it is causing to the American People and Good Ole Vets.  Sorry for the rambling, and I really do appreciate all the great info you have listed in the Years I have been a member on Hadit. Hope you have a great 2016!!!

Berta's advice was so good, Im reposting it and adding my emphasis:

 

"Every claimant must go over their C & P exam results carefully, check the examiners credentials , and do what Semper Fi Geek here did, he found his QTC doc had been disciplined by the state for negligence.

end Berta quote.

Personally, I have taken Berta's advice.  I got a sleep apnea C and P exam from a doctor who admitted no experience in sleep medicine.  Tho she was not competent to say so, she opined negatively, that my OSA had nothing to do with depression.  I just wish I would have taken Berta's advice sooner.

This makes me wish I knew in the 1990's what I know now

The VA must be a cartel more dangerous and powerful than the mafia, which is why congress and the president fear it.
