C&P report never sent to VA

Rate this question

Question

C&P exam for PTSD was done on July 31st. It was done by a VA doctor. It’s been almost 3 weeks and the VA is saying they are still waiting on the report. I called up to the C&P office and was told it’s “not done yet.” Wouldn’t it be done the day of? The claim is supposed to being expedited and this is the only thing they are waiting on.

No, it doesn't necessarily have to be done the same day. In fact, I doubt if a majority are written up and released on the same day. I don't know if you have any other s-c ratings now, but a mental health eval can mean 50, 70 or even higher %. The VA usually will make sure on those "high value-type" awards everything is right on those. Why do you say it was supposed to be expedited?

GBArmy is right.  From your other post, I think you need to start attacking this from another angle as the VA will always be slow even when there is a hardship.  Please refer back to your other post so we can point you in a direction to help figure out your current problem which can't wait on the VA.

Question for you, when were you in high school and did that book report and did you read a 403 page book (Prelude to Foundation) and wrote about it in 3 hours?  Medical reports take time especially for the mind/neuro. This era of I want it yesterday and Instantaneous is really getting out of hand.

Yes we have the Internet but the real world still operates like the real world.

"Book/medical reports" are not pizzas, where you can call up the pizzeria and get it within the hour.  Every body want its now now now. LOOK at it as if it was similar that to ordering a magazine subscription BECAUSE it is exactly like doing so.

  1. You rip out that post card from the magazine at the store    - took twenty minutes to go to the store
  2. You leave the store - 1 minute
  3. Take keys out of your pocket - 4 seconds
  4. Open car door - 2 seconds
  5. enter car
  6. closed door
  7. put keys into ignition 
  8. turn keys
  9. engine starts 
  10. drive safely out of the parking lot or bat out of hell and hit shopping carts
  11. Go home without getting pull over by police - twentty minutes
  12. Fill it out
  13. Put it in your mailbox
  14. The next day mailman picks it up - 24 hours
  15. ...
  16. Four to Six weeks the magazine will be in your mailbox - 4-6 weeks

    • 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:

    • 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.
