The VA C&P examiner did this facial recognition test doing my PTSD exam in 2017. In myhealthyvet she opined that I was malingering and I was denied service connection. I was furious to say the least. I requested a re-exam with an outside company. The VA sent me to a QTC psychiatrist a month later. At the QTC facility there was no facial recognition test. 3 weeks later I was granted service connection at 100%

After reading comments, I think it should be assessed that audio recordings of exams are essential documentation. Do a blind recording, then after the exam drop the "oh by the way, I recorded this for my own records".

They should be required to video the Exams. This ensures that all questions on the DBQ are answered by the veteran and provides transparency on both sides.

At my DRO hearing the VA stated things to me before the recording was turned on. The most bothersome thing was he made it clear to me and my wife that all Veterans lie. I stated , so before we even get started you are calling me a liar ?. The DRO laughed. I have started keeping audio notes on all conversations with the VA... Yes I audio record and make sure to ask VA employees to identify themselves. I refer back to them in statements regarding my case.

Such a lie, made me so upset. I got denied but won it on appeal a year or so later.

This is happening to me right now. I have had multiple things listed in my claim and the VA in Indianapolis is only willing to examine Tinnitus and PTSD. They are also having me do the examination at a private doctors office and they sent me a letter in the mail saying that I lack sufficient evidence supporting I have PTSD when I've been diagnosed with it but they're going to send me to this private doctor for the C&P exam most likely to kick me under the rug and tell me I am somehow lying about PTSD. The people that work at the VA in Indianapolis are corrupt disgusting people who should not be allowed to practice medicine.

All contact with these mental health providers begin with "How are you doing?" While this appears on the surface 'casual', don't fall for it. They know the common response will be "Fine".

During my appeal the judge said that I was never diagnosed with patsd thankfully I had retained a lawyer for that 30% and she stated that yes I was and I was right after I got out of the military otherwise they would have claimed and pretended like I had never been diagnosed or had even though they do treat me for him but they themselves refuse to diagnose me at the VA because again then you would have to probably give benefits if you acknowledge it and can't have that can you helping veterans especially since I don't want to do the psychiatric drugs and I work for the VA for a time and I know they don't work I've seen what they do to the patients they work on and I kind of think PTSD is the lesser of the evil

Social Security pulls the same stunts in their disability exams. I swear its as if the outside Doctors get a bonus for disqualifying you.

I had an examiner only ask me about my childhood, and then within the last three minutes of the exam she asked me about my experience in the army, and then she told me of you have-improved 😮goodbye

yep right out of the play book columbus va happen to me

VA hospital I just got a job there, during orientation out of 23 new hires only 4 were veterans, myself included. Of course the vets were hired to do grunt work so no wonder our needs are not met.

I had my exam last week for a tbi before we started the test she asked me my college experience when I told her a senior in college she said someone with the education you have should have no problem doing this

Recorders work great.

“I’m traumatized, not a sociopath”

I remember I had a physical the Doctor ask me how do I feel I sad ok . He contacts the VA they drop me in ratings . I’ll never fall for that again . Today I’m 80% with IU permanent and Total had a brain injury. One Doctor ask me what problems I’m I having I told him I’m having dizzy spells and forgetting my way home at times . He wrote the VA I was malingering . So my psychologist sent me to have some test EEG showed I was having petit mal seizures so I take Nuerontion today had an ENG test to check balance Test showed very impaired soI got a rating for Vertigoand Seizure disorder but yet the previous Doctor said I was malingering she cost me like 2 years in benefits by her incompetence of being a physician. I was hit with an ax across the head suffering a skull fracture with 4 weeks of hospitalization, had to learn how to walk and talk again on my own and what got me angry was these VA jerk offs thought I was faking it . Try getting hit with an ax and tell me if you’re not going to have residuals is what I told my last CP examiner he rated me permanent and total after that statement. I fought the VA for 15 years to get my rating. When ever I go to VA Doctors I never tell them I’m fine I always tell them I’m still having problems because I remember that day when I told a Doctor I’m fine when I thought he was talking about the day than I’m reduced in rating so speak of that cause I don’t want other Vets to go through my experience

I had one just last week. I am 90% va rated. My ptsd is getting worse. I have migraines from my sleep apnea. I submitted new claim for migraines and increase for ptsd. Instantly they approved me for migraines 50%. Then. I do my c&p exam for ptsd and the doctor was busy doing other things. Playing with her dog faxing paperwork for another client trying to tell me my ptsd was not military related.Then to tell me she didn’t even look at my file. Then after she submits her paperwork the va wants to rework my exam and now send me to a c&p for my migraines. After they just rated me 50 percent. Does that sound like this doctor wrote something In my favor? I’m pissed.

This happened to me..pissed me off. So sad..

I just had a so called Memory test that lasted for an hour. Is this the same concern? the gal said I was just on the cutting edge. that they would like to do it again in six months. duh. I have never told them I have a memory problem. I do have diabetes and I do have PTSD at 30% diabetes and hearing aids at 10% total 50%

I had one of those exams which was bs

What would a veteran do if the doc tries to pull this trick? The did it to me as well as a memory test with simple words and numbers. Like that's supposed to prove anything

I just filed for TDIU with 70% PTSD already awarded twice by the VA. Now they want me to do a third C&P and I smell a huge VA RAT! Thanks for the warning, I had 2 C&P's for PTSD, one in 2016 and another in 2020, both came back with 70%. My question is why does the VA do this, I know, to save money and screw over the Veteran. I have lots of evidence for my TDIU including work outbursts for which I got a letter of counselling, a occupational assessment by a third party and forced retirement my former management lied about to make it look they no longer needed my skills when in reality they wanted to dump me because of my inability to deal with others in the workplace. I will be reaching out to Hill & Ponton after my TDIU claim is completed as I feel no matter the evidence I provide the VA will stab me in the back just as they have for many veterans and I will need to file an appeal.

Another game the vision examiners are doing is placing a VR type headset on the veteran that measures side or peripheral vision. They set it to a default where the flashing light is coming from the same spot over and over. So they have the veteran clicking over and over and then the examiner steps out and brings another examiner in and says “oh we’re sorry we have to reset our headset”. They’re doing this in hopes you have you click at different intervals because on the first trial it’s coming from the same direction. Then when they fix it, the flashing light is coming from various degrees. Really unethical!

It almost sounds like a test for like autism and how they have problems understanding nonverbal facial expressions( verbal clues) but I don't know

Are C&P examiners legally allowed to do this? Is there a rule that a veteran can audio record the C&P exam?

I am already diagnosed with PTSD 70% combined at 90%. This was done in the last 5 months, I filed for TDIU submitted forms 21- 8940, 21- 4192 and lay evidence. Now I have an C&P exam with LHI, they requested DBQ PTSD. I would like to know why they are going over the same crap I already did?

I'm pretty sure that QTC is a contractor. It doesn't hurt to ask but I think the VA asked them to do their examinations. You can't just show up to QTC. My initial C&P exam was at QTC and they did a really good job. The doctor was very thorough and patient. He actually hooked me up with some things I didn't even claim and frankly didn't even know I could claim. He just noticed and put it in on the spot. So for what it's worth try and get into QTC because they will do right by you in my experience.

I should also add that my experience is subjective. I think I just got a really good doctor but that does speak well of the organization.

The exams are definitely not set up to help vets. The examiner could easily ask probing questions that would help the veterans. Instead they ask questions that DON'T help. Who knows what really goes in the report. Also, what is ment by, people with PTSD can't see these photos? Are you sure that in and of itself isn't some kind of IQ test? Because that sounds really stupid.

I cant believe our government would do something like this..... j/k , I believe it

My C&P exam is the day after tomorrow. It's for PTSD, depression and anxiety. Any last minute advice for me?

Now that a year has gone by, it's time to reapply. The 10% initial rating was a good thing, you got in the game. Now it's time to start playing offense. This time use very detailed buddy statements. Describe your condition a little better this time, and make sure that takes up 3 or 4 pages. Good luck. Most people take over 10 years to get their rating on track.
