2nd C & P Exam two years later

Rate this question

Question

So this is the second C&P exam two years later for the 100% lost of use kidney.  Sitting in the waiting room I see two come out and two a head of me go in.  So the doctor came out and called for me.  I walk towards him and he ask how I am?, I tell him not good (honest answer.)   So we sit down in his room and proceed. He spoke about me having one of these exams two years ago and how did it went?  Well doc, I gave the physician assistant all of my doctor notes showing that it started in... and that she didn't read any of what is now on the pc monitor in front of you.  He then asked about my other symptoms briefly that were printed out on his desk. 

So he goes over each of the questions on the DBQ that hes reading off the screen and I tell him each answer to the best I can.  As he was asking me each, I notice he had to stapled DBQs and I MacGyver-ed it so that I can see if the one below is also mine. Negative, the one below is for someone with mental illness and homeless.  Wait you had a stroke, you're to young to have one? Yes!, but I did due to my TBI.  He ask when my meds timeframe was and he typed away besides looking it up.  I see here your IMO from Dr. Anaise, how do you pronounce his name? A-nais. Anasie? Yes A-nais.  More questions one by one and I answer them honestly. Two or three questions, I asked what does that mean/I don't understand, and he further explains it to me.  So we finish and it was about 30 minutes. He tells me that he has lots to do, look up for this, and I tell him I know I have a copy of my C-file and I half smiled. After that I then send it off and the regional office will make a decision. Have a good day and extends his hand to shake and I use my left, then shows me how to exit through the hallways. Assuming I won't hear anything from the RO for 4-5 months.

That piece of garbage is not likely a real doctor and only possibly a bottom of the barrel/pond scum PA.

Just recieved my Big White Envelope and I was DENIED with the IMO from Dr. Anaise, only a month after getting a VA C&P exam. I knew I should have gone private, "pay to play" for the DBQ because the dirt bag didn't ask all the questions and a quarter of the time he was asking other things like the weather and stupid garbage. This is why the VA created the rule that we veterans are forbidden to record the session.

Yesterday I was at the DAV and they didn't mention the denial to me, I found out that they have two c-files on me, first being around 47 pages and the other 58 pages, while my c-file is 850 pages two years ago. Likely the evidence I submitted to them and the military one. Today I FIRED the DAV and lawyering up (have decided two year ago which attorney to go with.) I HAD IT with the VA, they DID NOT even claimed  that I had the independent medical opinion even though that piece of garbage PA said he sees it in my file, and I know I shall win at the Court where they can read.

So below is the denial letter. 

 

Dear Oceanbound

We made a decision regarding your entitlement to VA benefits.

This letter tells you what we decided.

Your current benefit payment will continue unchanged.

What we decided. We made the following decisions:

Issue/Contention

right kidney failure (due to medication prescribed for back condition)

Explanation 

  • The claim for service connection for right kidney failure (due to medication prescribed for back condition) is considered reopened. However, the evidence continues to show this condition was not incurred in or aggravated by military service.
  • The evidence does not support a change in our prior decision. Therefore, we are confirming the previous denial of this claim. The evidence does not show that your condition resulted from, or was aggravated by, a service-connected disability. The VA medical opinion found no link between your diagnosed medical condition and military service.

Evidence Considered

  • Notification Letter dated August 24, 2017, Intent to file received August 23, 2017
  • VA 21-526EZ, Fully Developed Claim received on July 17, 2017
  • VA Clinical Documents 9/18/2003 to 8/28/2017
  • DBQ GU Kidney (nephrology) conducted on August 14, 2017 received August 14, 2017
  • DBQ Medical Opinion conducted August 14, 2017, received August 14, 2017

If you do not agreed you can file a NOD 21-0958 enclosed VA Form 4107

The real truth from the VA

  1. We want you to give up
  2. We want you to die
  3. We know we are screwing up your life very badly
  4. Repeat with step 1
  • We just shut down the Communication Office because to many veterans were calling it and getting real answers
  • We are going to continue to lie for decades more
  • We don't want you to write to the Sec VA about how you're at ground zero - Phx VA which is the worst hospital in the country. While down the street is the best neurology center ( Barrow Neurological Institute) in the nation,  and a cross town is Mayo Clinic the best hospital in the country (that Senator McCain prised but didn't mention phx VA, imagine that)
  • in your medical file is numerous CUES and malpractice from the Phx VA

I will say to prove your point they will ask you those to find out the cause of the accident for their own reason to deny and say it was your fault. You need to show otherwise you may need to get the opinion of a forensic investigator which is what I had to do and only then did the BVA say ok it wasn't your fault it's now Service connected 6 years later

I am going to be filing a CUE next month on this for that my IMO and military medical records was never listed. This is why the denials continue "we have all the records" except having your military medical records.

    • 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.   
    • 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:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • 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.
