OTC and some of the VA raters have no desire to approve your claim. I submitted several claims with tons of evidence, and most of all, I have ern deferred with two denied. In my decision letter, I noticed a key QTC DBQ missing, including updated information I had uploaded to support my claim. It appears the VA rater and QTC intentionally left out these key documents to set my claim up for denial. In addition to one of my denials, the QTC examiner did not even conduct a C,&P exam in reference to the DBQ.She simply penciled whipped the document and sent it to the VA rater. This is why so many veterans have filed complaints against the VA and their 3rd party medical examiners to their Senators. I plan on filing a High Level Review because I have enough evidence to prove my claim. I am planning to get my two senators involved in my case. But make sure you understand the decision letter regarding your case.

Just had mine. Did not formally introduce himself gave us hard time I brought my wife with me was not going to let her attend I was adamant as she assists me. I still don’t know this examiner was he a medical dr. Was he a lt.col. Rangers infantry he had all ailments I mentioned he was negative negative negative. So I am reading this guys job is to discount my case not help and assist. Let’s see when I get results from v.a. I will not stop.

When yall have bad C&P examiners, can yall start adding location and name for vets who may have exams scheduled with that examiner also? Or is that a problem?

I'm at a hard 93%. Going for my C&P exam for Obstructive Sleep apnea in the morning. Was already diagnosed by the VA and just like you secondary to depression. I feel like your point to describe like bullet points to the examiner to make sure they annotate exactly what you are going thru because I've been to this examiner I'm going to before and for everything I saw her before I was shot down for my claims. But I got to nail this one and hearing what you said gives me confidence that I'll get what I need to get over the hump. Thanks Bro.

You must have/get overwhelming evidence. DBQ's, nexus letters, medical statements, blood work, etc... to improve your chances. Get civilian doctors if possible.

I'm so glad you talked about writing stuff down, I've started to do a diary who knows how long that'll last, but I'm super worried that I'll have a good day when I go for my exam, and then my coping mechanism is just to avoid and forget. Treat it like it never happened and don't ever think about it again. So if I'm being asked questions pointed questions, the likelihood that on a good day I'll just forget everything that happened and not feel like remember anything is about 95% certain. I also recognize that writing stuff down and coming in with prepared answers makes it look like you're trying to lie and just have horrible memory more so than you have horrible memory because your scared and have terrible coping techniques. But I'll have to do it anyways, because otherwise they'll ask me a hard question and then I'll have a panic in my mind and also can't remember and then I'll shut down, and they'll just get a deer in the headlights look and then a "it's fine" answer.

Went to my 3rd C&P for PTSD was 3 months from 20 year rating,the examiner was old enough to be my dad and I’m 73 . He. Spent more time napping than examining. So now waiting on my rating …don’t feel good about the whole experience but we’ll see…🫣

Does anyone know how long it takes for the VA to make a decision on your claim once you have a c&p exam?

I felt completely unprepared for mine, My examiner was nice enough and listened to me. I could tell she was writing down everything I said, almost word for word. The problem I had was that I felt like I should have presented my issues like a lawyer would at a negotiating table. That was hard to do since we have so many emotions tied to our problems. It becomes a pseudo counselling session but the doc doesn't want ot hear sob stories, just facts and figures.

Wait until these fools in government send us to war in Ukraine! Then let us see the claims for those who survive.

Like everything else in the Western world, this is all a "procedural scam" with an element of luck thrown in. And these vendors are contracted to deny.

Man I feel for you. I went to my first MH exam and it was awful. I peeled the scab off of trauma that I’ve buried for 15 years. The examiner just so happened to be someone I work with, which I am sure you can imagine was a bizarre twist. They cut me off multiple times and said I can’t have PTSD because I was never in combat. For reference my fiancé was raped, command wouldn’t let me go see her, she committed suicide a few months later. Was diagnosed with all kinds of MH issues in my STRs before my discharge. He also ignored half of my symptoms on my DBQ and was dismissive when I described them. After my VSO looked at all of it he said I can appeal it and wait a few years. I called the Whitehouse hotline and explained the situation. They got me scheduled for a new exam within a week. Fingers crossed

Think of it this way the money we get compensation for gets put back into the economy 😊

Thank you for this video! I’m moving using PODs here in four days. What paperwork would I need to get the reimbursement?

The examiner asked me Hi how are you feeling? I said terrible. He said then we can't continue this exam. I said wait I waited 2 months for this exam. He said whats wrong then. I said everyday is bad ,I feel depressed, lack of sleep and headaches. He keep asking me the same questions over and over like a interrogation. He was very antagonistic. Still waiting for my results. I reported him to the V.A.?

You believe service members and pay us for the governments forever wars.

The woman for what she is doing isin't very smart. When you're dealing with people that have mental health issues you don't act foolishly because any one of them very easily could be her last appointment forever.

I had 2 disability increases approved and 1 new FDC differed

I was expecting a bunch of questions about my stressors while deployed. Doctor only asked about my childhood, school, dates of deployment, work pre and post sercive and then told me we were finished. I was like 😳😳😳 "Doc, arent we gonna talk about my experiences during deployments?" Doctor said: "I dont ask anything, I write what you say" 😳😳😳 I got a bit angry inside and just told him, ok, ill tell you then... I fell for the "venting about stuff that happened", forgot to mention stuff about my lack of social life and how I go out very late at night to avoid ppl. I expected the doc to get me started with questions, its hard for me to express stuff out of the blue with out a direct question first. I felt super disappointed about my C&P. 😕 Now waiting for a decision. See how long it takes. At this point, im hoping for at least a "service connected" not expecting high % at all.

Would you recommend filing a FDC instead of a standard claim?

Great job fellow veteran

Awesome video, we are on the same page in building a veteran community. I was so frosted with the VA so I started a Non-profit so I could document my experience and help veterans navigate this system. Feel free to reach out. I have a few ideas and maybe we can collaborate.

Good job mine was denied .

Awesome news on getting OSA approved. Mine is pending BDD so hoping for the best

Thanks!! These vids are very helpful for me as I will be done in a few years. Did it go up more with the new rating?

I think the examiners see something "better" than what's going on inside. Sometimes they aren't trained or schooled. My hubby presents very well on the daily. BUT, what's going on inside is a shit show!

My husband's C&P exams were a joke. We are taking small steps to get further.

Please do NOT block your face when speaking cuz some of ur Brothers & Sisters cannot hear & as for me, I have to read lips. I know that’s a mic & all cool cuz you are very clear & have a good voice. Pls attach the mic to ur shirt & move the arm😄😩Your info is great & I just wish I could have read your lips better.

Did they deny you

Hey man how long do you usually get a decsion AFTER you finish a c and p exam?

The same thing happened to me during my PTSD C&P exam...I ended up really upset and crying a few hours after. Between recalling events and the exam itself, it was too much

Where do you live man? I want to hang out with you.. lol

Troy, Do yourself a favor and support the 3 pillars needed to win a claim not presumptive (burn pit and agent orange): 1- Time in Service (DD214 does this); 2 - Medical Evidence of your diagnosis from your doc (I absolutely do not seek VA letter to support my claim). This evidence should support that your underlying claimed condition or residual condition is chronic or persists, AND is proximately caused or aggravated related to your military service. Doctors can give you a more likely than, at least as likely as, which both show more than 50 % likelihood. GO TO A Private doctor, or public health clinic doctor to get this. Listen bro, having a nexus letter and medical evidence is huge and two of 3 pillars needed according to Title 38 which specifies diagnostic codes and criteria to get service connected. Any VSO worth their salt should guide you on what type of medical evidence is weighty.

I am in this exact same boat, and I’m waiting for my decision

They are always associated with the VA . They always say no

While I was waiting for a decision on my VA claims, the VA and the Social Security Administration (SSA) were behind my back engaging in a conflict of interest and conspiracy to shoot down my SSA disability benefits the only source of income that I had. They both conspired to wait in the beginning of 2024 in the sence that when the VA does in January 2024 approve my claim starting at fucken a shitty 10% for rittinutus while immediately the SSA simultaneously stop my SSA. Where immediately in the month of January 2024, the SSA sent me a surprise letter saying that the SSA found out that begging January 2024, the SSA is going to take away from me all my SSI because I have other source of income, meaning my January 2024 shitty approved VA 10%. These mother fucker are a bunch of Dirty pitches conspiring against me and they work together to mess up Veterans fixed income to take away from Veterans as much as possible. In the first place, I never applied for SSI. I had only applied for SSDI and the SSA down played my SSDI application and against my will and desires forced me to pursue a SSI claim. I repeatedly reported to the SSA that I did not apply for SSI.

I’m waiting on deferred claim for diabetes and hypertension Medical opinion. Was exposed to nerve agents and chemicals including herbicides similar to agent orange. Denied for sleep apnea, which can be caused by TCE, which are used on a weekly basis to clean our weapons. Denied gets that developed in army but I have no proof can’t get buddy statements can’t find them too long ago and I know some of them are dead. Gerd diagnosed after got out.

Tell me how getting orthopedics and podiatry to not make me go back and forth as the cause of my knee problems. Bilateral flat feet. Probably gonna see a private doctor.

Thanks you for that education on what "deferred" means. I'm slowly learning one process after another.

I’m creating a sub Reddit calling out all the shitty examiners, it’s gonna be great.

The presenter's account of the mental health C&P exam for VA disability claims highlights several negative and difficult experiences that made the process particularly challenging: 1. **Feeling of Pressure:** The presenter describes feeling a significant amount of pressure during the exam. This pressure made it hard to accurately convey his mental health issues, impacting his ability to communicate effectively about how his condition affects his daily life. 2. **Examiner's Skepticism:** The presenter had a "weird" experience with the mental health examiner, who seemed skeptical and possibly inclined to weed out dishonest claims. This skepticism contributed to an uncomfortable atmosphere, making the exam more difficult for the presenter. He felt as though the examiner was waiting for him to say something that could be perceived as dishonest or inconsistent. 3. **Difficulty Proving Mental Health Conditions:** The inherent challenge of proving mental health conditions was exacerbated by the examiner's approach. Mental health is intrinsically difficult to quantify and validate through examination, and the presenter felt that the examiner's attitude made this process even more challenging. 4. **Negative Interaction with the Examiner:** The interaction with the examiner was marked by a lack of empathy or understanding, as indicated by the presenter's description of the examiner's demeanor. The presenter sensed a critical and almost accusatory attitude from the examiner, which added to the stress of the situation. These aspects of the presenter's experience highlight the emotional and psychological challenges faced by veterans undergoing mental health C&P exams. The skepticism and pressure from the examination process can significantly impact a veteran's ability to present their case, contributing to the overall difficulty of navigating the VA disability claims process for mental health conditions.

Denied as a secondary to ptsd in Oct 2020 filed an appeal and was denied by law judge 3/23 waiting on second law judge to see it which takes place no earlier then 90 days. Still waiting, but hopes not so high but still you never know.

No nexus is needed if it is a secondary to a condition that's already service connected. However, secondary must be on your record. Sleep apnea can lead to many issues just like depression. Think about it, almost all people that commit suicide have depression. Are there people that have depression and don't commit suicide- of course! There's the kind of logic that screws your case. So. Besides learning secondaries and 38 CFRs you need to learn their logic ... sneaky games they play too! VA doctors will fill out VA DBQs if you ask them to. If they won't then start looking at other doctors that are vested and can't be as easily manipulated. The DBQs always ask if the doctor believes it is related to your service. If secondary, many doctors will agree, if they don't, take scientific articles or research you can easily find online. Good luck! BTW, they'll grant you more often after you're 55.

I have mine on Saturday morning lol it’s a video conference

Every veteral is disabled, some just have an easier time with the paperwork

I filed for depression as a secondary. My cnp examiner looked at me and said I'm going to say you have depression because pain leads to depression. I was like your going to add my symptoms according to the CFR.

They asked me pre-military and post military. Didn't want to know anything about my in service. Which is I filed

I have bdd claim in process and already had CP exams for my carpal and tunnel syndrome. Now my doctor wants to do surgery before i retire on May 1. Should I pit idf surgery until after separate? Worried my claim will be rated at 0 or defer if VA finds out about surgery. Thanks, man..

I had the same type of experience in my exam a couple of days ago. It felt very weird, I was asked a couple of questions but nothing really about my mental health. It seemed as if she didn't believe anything I was saying. The following day I emailed my Lawyer and told them my experience. We'll see how it goes...

Currently waiting for decision. Estimated time is in April 😢
