MH cp exam, examiner states you don't have something you have been diagnosed with for years

Question

I had a cp exam and recently received the results,  I found it odd that the box asking if I was diagnosed with multiple mental health issues said No was checked as I have numerous diagnoses in my VA chart and my last mh cp exams all had yes checked?   Also, I am being treated at the VA for all of them, one of which is panic disorder with agoraphobia.  I do not leave my house alone, ever.  I am on a lot of benzos (I know) because of my panic disorder and yet she said I do not have panic disorder nor panic disorder with agoraphobia.  The last cp examiner said I do have them, which was 3 months ago, but they weren't service connected........ It was rated then and combined with my other mh etc. I am not sure of her angle here, she was super (or acted super concerned) during my exam.  I was having a really bad day honestly and had a panic attack in the waiting room and well, afterward one isn't exactly my best emotional state.  I have bipolar 2 (which I am rated for as well) and I have depression issues from that as well.  Because I was in such a state during my exam I was actually afraid she was going to Baker Act me, I had to assure he repeatedly that I wasn't actually suicidal.  Yes I have suicidal thoughts but I was not suicidal.  There is a difference, I had to explain that to her.  It was really hard and I was a wreck.  She seemed genuinely concerned that I was having such a hard time receiving care through my local va and that choice was taking so long getting me therapy, etc.  She asked all the questions she was supposed to.  This exam was because the first exam was a 10 minute exam where the examiner did not do the full dbq and I requested another.  The box she checked on my notes is for 30%, and she said I have mild bipolar.  That is a joke honestly.  When somone's mental health is at the point that a cp examiner is asking them repeatedly if they are suicidal during their exam, they don't have a mild mental health issue.  She wasn't simply checking the boxes.  I feel like she was covering the other examiner's behind.  In the big picture I guess it doesn't matter, I am IU PT.  Does her saying I don't have panic disorder with agoraphobia negate my diagnosis of every other psychiatrist that says I do?

Shocker Buck the va cp examiner site called me today to schedule what I thought was just a deferred item and another that had been denied ( the RO called me yesterday and I asked about the denied shoulder and said I had my medical records in front of me, the gentleman actually asked what date, etc. and said, no wonder it was missed, upload this statement into ebenefits etc, I am scheduling you for a cp exam for your shoulder as well)  the qtc exam that they never scheduled he stated would be scheduled as well.  The VA CP called said I had two appointments and I asked what they were for, assuming they were the gyn and shoulder.  The lady stated, first appointment gyn and shoulder and 2nd is Mental Health. Apparently, someone wasn't too happy with the exam I was given and they are giving me another one!  I commented are you sure, I just had one in May?  She said, yes. It is most definitely mh.  They want a new exam with a new psychiatrist.  I hope that is good news?

Hey yes this is good news there giving you another shot  so take what ya can...hope they read it all this time around!!!

 

I went to VA MH Today and my Dr (psychiatrist ) she ask me if I get on line? I said yes  I do I use Myhelthyvet  and read your :Notes..LoL   So watch yourself,,,LoL

Anyway I was just kidding with her and she ask me if I use VA Access? VA-VMC   Actually its '' VA VMC''  secure your access with the VA if you google it   ..its for more access and you can have more than one credential partner.

Its rather confusing as I got home today I google it  and it does have a FQA  sheet to see what everything means. thats = (FQA) Facts and questions answered) 

you might google it and see if it's for you..I am still reading a lot of it??
