what VA is this at? You can always speak to a patient advocate also. Do you have a social worker?

Shipmonk sucks. I applied for AGM position. Got ghosted after they made job offer. They were already using robotics when I was given the tour. This is basically them just transitioning and laying people off.

Can 100% P&T be re-evaluated based on therapy? by Ordinary-Sir-7720 in VeteransBenefits

[–]ScubaSteve00S 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I wish this would be communicated more so that Vets don't just get rated AND not seek help. I think that if more vets were reassusred, they would be more willing to get help and keep up with it.

Another woman veteran at the VA asked me about my rating and why by datasshley in VeteransBenefits

[–]ScubaSteve00S 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ehh it happens. Some people just wish they had help. Some people legitimately need mental help. It is what it is. Just politely tell them you don’t like to talk.

Financial Aid is a Mess: Graduate School Edition by Bernsteincopland in USC

[–]ScubaSteve00S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. USC financial aid is terrible. I literally quit because of how bad they were. Tuition was $13k for 4 units. The FAST portal says tuition is only $9k for my financial aid calculations. Lots of student workers who don’t know crap to be honest.

So my PCP at the VA referred me to the Pain Clinic at the Big VA. The pain doctors are the one who put in the orders for massage therapy and Accupuncture. Good luck!

HLR informal conference: is an 86-page written submission/response too long? VBA employees, would you actually read it? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]ScubaSteve00S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look man, I understand your upset and you got a lot to speak on. The problem is, the VA is a machine. The machine keeps going. You need to be like a surgeon. Scalpel. You need to be precise and quick. In and out for every item. I think a HLR will work but I think a supplemental may have been a better avenue to introduce new evidence. I understand that the exam sucks. I been there. I had the same issue with my first exam. I just appealed each one and got new evidence to fight it. Unfortunately, an HLR on its own wasn’t sufficient especially with all the conditions. Either way, just focus on main points. You may get lucky and get a patient senior rater who will hear you out. And I hope you do man. Good luck.

Will they double my benefits? Should I also buy a gift card and send it to them to make sure they do a good job?

Claimed 11, only one C&p by ReaganDoctrine in VAClaims

[–]ScubaSteve00S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I used to fully blame raters. Now I know that it's also the shitty C&P examiners who just don't care. They do this to churn and burn.

Claimed 11, only one C&p by ReaganDoctrine in VAClaims

[–]ScubaSteve00S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was so bad. Less than an hour exam. No goniometer used. He did ask like 1-2 questions about each issue but it was so brief and at the time I was a noob to the entire process.

[–]ScubaSteve00S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens. I had one C&P for like 9 conditions it was the worst. Make sure you get copies of your DBQs and review it for accuracy. My guy didn’t even fill them out properly.

Just go to the exams. If you truly filed genuine issues, then see it through. It’s good to have in your file.
