0 wilspeak Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 MikeHunt, I wonder why and how the govt started to investigate that veteran in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gastone Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 You can sign up for VA OIG Reports on your E-mail. Go to the VA web site. Get the full story there. 2 VA Dr's drop the dime on her, she admitted to the investigators and in court, that she had exaggerated her symptoms. Been collecting full boat IU for 5 yrs. I don't recall seeing the break-down of the $300K. Married, IU with SMC S (1) & SMC K, KIDS ?? would be in the area of $43K x 60 =$258K plus any Retro $??,000.00 gets fairly close. She knew she was Malingering, from jump. Semper Fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Gastone Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Wil, I kinda disagree, with what I think your "get my drift" take is here. I tell the SC Vet's I'm in contact with to remember, "everything you say, can and will be used against you." By that, I mean not to tell the VA Nurse or Clinician that your better than you are, everything you say regarding symptoms, ends up in your treatment notes. Using the "10% Rule," we have to consider that around 10% of all Vets receiving or applying for SC Comp are Malingerers. Can't say I know of any Vet that would condone Malingering, whether or not they'd "Eat Cheese" on the Malingerer, could be a different story.

Shows how much the Dr pay attention a Dr should be intelligent enough to do test on her arm for ROM and get X-RAYS MRIs special MRI's if her Arm was that bad,? hell on some days I can't walk

I also don't agree with *nudge/wink* either. IF you are honest you won't get tripped up later. If you omit things about your condition to your healthcare staff you are just hurting yourself and making
