Is it standard for the report to have included the questions that the VA has requested to be answered? and then the doctors answer??

Also, could someone tell me what is a, "Post Traumatic Stress disorder like symptom?"

There is so much in this exam that is just flat out incorrect, lies, and misinformation. It is an out and out joke to a persons intelligence.

Also, done with NO RECORDS, NO C-FILE, NO QUESTIONAIRES. I wish I could scan this.

I will fax this to someone with a scanner so you all can read this so called C&P report, what a joke.

Hello..when I received my C/P report for PTSD the report included the questions the doctor asked and my response to the questions...then there was a section to the doctors opion...

I found this on the internet regarding your question...

There have been numerous reports of military veterans suffering from PTSD-like symptoms for well over 100 years. For example, veterans of the US Civil War who suffered emotional problems were diagnosed as being afflicted with "solider heart" or “Da Costa’s Syndrome” which shares many symptoms like PTSD. Shell Shock was a term used to describe the condition of veterans of WW1 who seemed emotionally disturbed in a similar fashion. In WW II, these symptoms were classified as "battle fatigue" or "combat fatigue". Other terms used to describe military-related mood disturbances include "nostalgia", "not yet diagnosed nervous", "irritable heart", "effort syndrome", "war neurosis", and "operational exhaustion

It seems that the c/p doctor is saying that you fit into the criteria of PTSD

Thanks MT,

That was a very positve response.The problem is .... the questions are not questions the doctor asked my husband... the questions are a "blue print" for the doctor to follow so he can do the exam and type a response in his report... it seems like this is the VA question sheet and then he filled in a bit of info to comply with the VA requirements for a complete exam, but left the original questions in his report.

Any veteran that needs to prep for his C+P for PTSD needs a copy of this report because he will know exactly what will be asked during the exam. And what criteria needs to be met in order to have the doctor's opine about their being DX with PTSD.

This report appears to have inadvertanly provided the VA's psychiatric PTSD checklist. We thought this was a new VA doctor because he had no knowledge of military issues or topics but this report seems to confirm our suspicions.

If the doc did not have the C-File available then that is grounds for an appeal.

Oh yes John, we will absolutely appeal. But we will wait until after the inital rating and then we will raise hell. Right now I think it is really important that we get the DMII service connected. Once that is done then we will fight the battles.

I told my husband that I am waiting for the "black Heliocopters" to come to our house and men in black clothes to break down our doors and take our computer and papers because we have the VA template for processing PTSD claims.

I mean this report is so weird, no kidding. It is not one of those like ..."I asked the patient such and such and he responed, blah blah blah. It's more like for an example... The report says, "clearly describe specific stressor event(s) veteran considered particularly traumatic. Clearly describe the stressor. Particularly if the stressor is a type of persoal assault, including sexual assault, provide information, with examples, if possible. The entire report is full of these kinds of questions and direction to/ for the doctor.

    • Are all military medical records on file at the VA?

      RichardZ posted a topic in How to's on filing a Claim,

      I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

      Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection

      Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,

      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Post in Chevron Deference overruled by Supreme Court

      broncovet posted a post in a topic,

      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.

    • Post in Re-embursement for non VA Medical care.

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      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:
