Poor PTSD C&P by QTC - request another or wait for decision
Rate this question
Question
Grilla79
I filed for PTSD 4 weeks ago. I had a poorly done (by examiner) virtual PTSD C&P yesterday by QTC. Video chat wouldn't work so Doc opted for voice only. He asked less than 20 questions, almost half were demographics. Place of birth, parents, siblings, service dates. Every time I answered there were long pauses of silence, up to two minutes (I started timing them). Most questions were yes no or short answers. Do you have nightmares? How often. Do you get angry easily? Break things? Write-ups or reprimands at work? I was diagnosed at the DC VA in 2018, went there for therapy for over a year, then started seeing the psych at a CBOC and counselling at a vet center much closer to home. I probably pissed him off since after about 40 minutes I said "all this information is in my VA files - don't you get those records?" He did not answer. The exam was scheduled for an hour. 57 minutes into it the doc said abruptly and rapidly "okay, that' all I need, thank you for your service" and disconnected. Clearly he had another chat in 3 minutes.
Question is do I notify QYC or VA now, or wait until decision. then file NOD/appeal, etc. For what its worth, I've been through the process several times with other issues. I've done NODs, appeals, re-evaluations for multiple conditions, (one appeal still pending) and been about 75% successful. As for this claim - I'm sure a lot of vets think the Doctors are incompetent, etc., but I was a psychiatric nurse for 7 years in my civilian career ( 7 years active duty , 13 years ANG) so i an confident that this guy was just running a checklist. There's no way he could hit all the items, not even most the items, so undoubtedly some of the information in his report will be falsified.
thank you
forgot pertinent info

This isnt shocking. Something similar happened to me earlier this year. I filed for an increase, had an idiot for an examiner, didnt even write in the report half of what I said...got reduced from 50
