ptsd Recieved Copy Of Ptsd C&p Report Today

[Guest jangrin]

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.

The C+P doctor did NOT even talk about my husbands stressors. He showed my husband where the computer paperwork print out stated that the stressors were conceded.

Thats a good thing.................

Jangrin is this the post to Berta you spoke of in the PM? Ok I found what you were telling me. Weird.

Betrayed,

This is what was in the report,

The C+P doctor did NOT even talk about my husbands stressors. He showed my husband where the computer paperwork print out stated that the stressors were conceded. He told my husband that he should increase his medication, although he ( the doctor)wasn't offering treatment.(???)Also, he told my husband not to worry because he will be compensated for the DMII and he might get 10% on the mental. This guy is just a "wack-o" and totally full of you know what. I was not allowed in the room during the exam...He asked my husband if he has ever tried to commit suicide. He never asked if my husband thought about commiting suicide. Then writes in the report not acts or thoughts of suicide. The report is full of untruths or half-truths. Very discouraging.

In part the following:

In the report the doctor wrote. "The patient appears to meet criteria A,B,C,and D. However, he has had a fairly consistent work history and the symptoms described do not appear to have had a significant impact on his capacity for employment.

However, he would be classified as having an anxiety disorder NOS."

The report states that the stressors are conceded.

In his final paragraph the doctor states, "he has very clearly suffered traumatic experiences that would potentially lead to post traumatic stress disorder. He has had some symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, however, they do not appear to have had a significant impact on his occupation at least in his capacity to work although it may have had some effect on his capacity to excel as well as he could have.The symptoms described above appear to require continuous use of medications primarily due to the combination of the anxiety symptoms and the depressive symptoms.

Everyone,

At this point in the process all we can do is wait.

It is frustrating but obviusly we have no control other than a gentle nudge when we call the 800# or send in an IRIS request asking where is the claim and how is it doing.

After five months of waiting , we finally got my husband in with his NEW VA doctor. She has increased his BP medication, she also doubled his DMII medication, doubled his mental health medications, she order a second set of blood and urine tests (because of abnormalties)-ordered a new EKG and have set him up with an appt. for circulation check in the lower limbs as he has lost all the hair and skin changes from PN and atherolsclerosis.

At this time, we are taking Vike17's advise and we will just wait until the VA makes adecision on our initial claim. Hopefully they will at least service connect for the DMII, and secondaries HTN, PN, CAD. These things are life threatening and are the priority for us.To be honest I'm not very optomistic at this point.

I am gathering current medical records to update the disabilities which have worsened since the claim was filed over a year ago. Hopefully it will keep the raters from low-balling this claim and maybe lite a fire under their butts.
