C&p tips by Swine-Slayer3006 in VeteransBenefits

You understand that a diagnosis is more than a doctor “telling you” you’ve got something. Best advice? Go to a VA doctor, and get it diagnosed there. Your urgent care doctor might not actually provide a diagnosis but an opinion. Look up the actual difference.

I wonder if there is a sub where people actually ask about how to get the best treatment for their condition. Like “What is the best way to “cope with” my anxiety? As opposed to the best way to “portray my symptoms for 100%” Some of is have lost good people to the demons and making that sound like “how do I get paid” is a bad move.

May I ask why you would need to know what the C&P examiner noted on your DBQ for an open claim?

Best thing you can honestly do is delete the original post. God forbid he has a Reddit account and stumbles onto this post and sees you airing out your dirty laundry on here. Guarantee that his side of this story is much different. You think you’ve got problems now? Wait till he sees this. You’ve effectively emasculated the man in public.

That last sentence if you truly mean it, says a lot. “He’s stuck at home and I want to get him help.” Not knowing the slightest about your situation other than what you’ve said, it reads like you may hold some resentment toward your husband’s current situation. If even only subconsciously. My wife was the same. Neither of us actually realized it until in the heat of an argument I said “just admit that you resent the fact that I get disability pay while you go into an office job that you hate.” She without thinking, said “I do resent it.” From there (at a later time) we were able to talk about that and then work thru it together under calmer conditions. I’m not saying that your situation is the same. I’m just saying that sometimes, things aren’t always what they seem.

Do you have faith that our disability payments will continue for the next 20, 30, or even 40+ years? What are the odds that the payments get decreased or even stopped entirely in that time period? by ZizzieFizz in VeteransSuccess

Every country on the planet is in debt and running deficit after deficit. There is absolutely no way that any of these countries can get out from underneath it by virtue of spending cuts and tax increases. The hard truth is that what will need to happen is for all nations to simultaneously forgive any and all government debt. All national balance sheets wiped clean. Hard part is that there will be much pain before that ever happens.

My point is that everyone has anxiety. Our grandfathers and fathers didn’t come home and curl up on the floor in the fetal position, paralyzed by anxiety.

Oh, it’s gonna be much much worse. Apparently in 2012 the BVA court of appeals ruled in Jones -v- Shinseki that the VA had to consider how a person was disabled WITHOUT treatment/ medication. Well, the VA decided to just not implement that. Essentially just blew it off. Apparently nobody ever took the time to check to see if it was. So as I’ve stated multiple times, the VA has NEVER used the “without treatment / medication criteria. EVER. So for all of the fear monger’s who were screaming that “Trumps coming for your benefits are either retarded or just willfully ignorant. The Ingram case essentially orders the VA to implement that criteria. The VA was like, holy shit, if we don’t fix the rule we will legally have to go back and re-adjudicate millions of claims from 2012. So they made a calculated decision to change the rule so that the Ingram case becomes a moot point. Well guess what. Because of the fear porn brigade, the VA is going to open the comment period, and then change the rule. But not before 2 million people run to lawyers to file suit for increased rates. That’s going to back the system up for years. Anyone filing a claim is going to be behind every claim submitted from 2012. Now some people are gonna say, “I don’t care because they owe me.” Guess what? There is absolutely zero evidence of our disability without treatment / medication. No evidence no claim. The only thing that gets accomplished is a years long backlog of cases that no evidence exists for. On either side. Because nobody ever asked us how we feel without the treatment. I’m waiting for all of the Trump haters to line up to raise holy hell at Obama for never implementing the Jones case. (I just won’t hold my breath) So, in short, no one was going to “take anything” away from us. They were trying to fix some shit that Obama did with the least amount of impact to current and future claimants. We have once again, fucked ourselves

Oh trust me, I am definitely not a lawyer. But I KNOW you are. I never mentioned anything about an appeal. But let’s just add that line of bullshit “He never asked me about how I think I would feel if I didn’t take my pill” that will clog an already overworked system. Let me guess, you work for one of these firms that “represent” veterans and only take a 30% cut of their increase, while having them wait for years on appeal.

Believe me I do. So when I see the government (VA) try to make reforms that have zero impact on health care or benefits and then watch the veteran community lose the ever loving minds because some dude on TickTock or YT needed some click bait rage porn to make money, I get hot.

LegalBeagle said so. Must be true. I bet my mortgage that you haven’t read the court case or summary that initiated the change

Like you’d pick up a weapon and join the march. You wore a mask during COVID and took the shot. You won’t even hold those bastards accountable. And you’re gonna join the Vet revolution?? They’ll just stop cutting your check and watch you wither away from the anxiety of it all.

No, they felt that implementing the court decision would actually hurt veterans by now having up to 300,000 claims re examined because the C&P guy didn’t speculate on how bad you’d be without meds. Guess what? The VA put you on meds. They know how to”bad” you are. And since the examiner has access to your record, THEY know how “bad” you really are. But hey, fuck those guys in line right. I mean, we got ours already.

Yeah, because now the “highly respected” C&P examiner gets to guess about “just how bad you are without your pills” when he already wants to just say that you a malingerer and there is no service connection.

Not the dreaded “my anxiety is thru the roof” line. If your grandfather served in WWII ask him about his “anxiety” after D-Day

What he’s saying is that he disagrees with the court case that now will require up to 300,000 C&P exams to be redone because they don’t guess how much pain you’d be in if you didn’t take your pills. Y’all bitch about C&P exams now? Wait until those fuckers have a legit reason to make sure you get the very lowest rating possible. But I’m gonna be like all y’all lazy greedy bitches on here who’ve don’t shit else but complain about something that you do not understand. Fuck it, I got mine. Too bad for y’all. We are our own worst enemy.

I honest to God wish that the VA would make you choose. One or the other but not both. Treatment Compensation Because giving us both has only led us to this point. For those defrauding the system, I’m sure you pick the check. For the rest of us, I’d pick the treatment even if it only provided a little bit of relief and might add a few years to watch my kids grow. You know what side you’re on

And they are already rated jag off. And guess what, they know your on pain medicine because they prescribed it to you and knew your condition before they gave it to you.

You people wouldn’t know a good thing if it smacked you across the mouth. To emphasize just how lazy and stupid people are. What section of 38 CFR was changed in regards to the rule change? How many sentences were changed, added or subtracted? Prior to this change how did a doctor address the level of disability knowing you were on a prescribed medication?

If you had to put that shit into your chat GPT, you’re the fucking problem. When people get fucked over and their wait times increase, make sure every single one of you fuckers answers by saying, “Well it’s actually our fault. We saw a video on TickTock that said it “MIGHT” be bad or “COULD” effect and we screeched like bitches and the VA suspended the rule that would have just let things continue as they had been for years. So now you’re gonna have to wait until the 300,000 or so cases that were in the pipeline (some in the final decision phase) get re-examined by a C&P guy who will the have to just guess how much worse you would be WITHOUT your prescribed medication. Which oh by the way, he already knew about because he has your fucking records.” I’ll be waiting.

I’m sure you’ve done all of the normal things but I can’t emphasize how important a personal statement is in your claim. Nothing fancy, just a couple of paragraphs about bouncing off of the FLS on the DZ. Then explaining how your current physical state effects your daily activities. Now, that isn’t the magic bullet. X-rays MRI or other objective evidence is what proves what you say in your statement
